PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION.

|)HE *'Guide through Europe", undergoing annually a thorough
and careful revision and thus being an original, practical
and reliable manual, has risen considerably from year to
year in public favour. Indeed, whereas the early editions
consisted of 20,000 copies, no fewer than 30,000^ are now
issued every spring.

>■ Of course, in condensing such a mass of details, it is impossible

to prevent mistakes from creeping in here and there; and the publisher
would be very glad to receive notification of such errors, so that the
necessary corrections may be made in succeeding editions.

To avoid misunderstanding, it may be stated here that the
work has not been written in the interests of advertisers, but for the
benefit of passengers crossing to Europe by the boats of the Hamburg-
American Line.

First-class hotels, * boarding-houses, businesses, banks, sanatoria &c.
are indicated throughout; but the book being a guide and not a directory,
only a selection could be made.

Finally, it may be remarked that German guides through Europe

existing in great number, the present work was originally written to

*fill a desideratum long - felt among English - speaking travellers; and

numerous voluntary letters of thanks and suggestions, couched in the

warmest terms, are ample evidence that this hope has not been in vain.

ltist0[|y of the

Hamburg-Ameijican Line.

The Hamburg- American Line
was established some sixty

years since, having been
called into existence by the active
emigration movement which appear-
ed among the peoples of Europe in
the thirties and forties of the last
century. At that period, the United
States were regarded as the Eldorado
in which one had but to stretch out
the hand to obtain in plenitude that
which years of toil had failed to gain
in Europe. Whereas, in the year 1825,
the number of emigrants was only
1(XX), the figures had risen, by 1832,
to 60,000 annually. Bremen had al-
ready taken up, with energy, the
North American traffic; while the
trade of Hamburg lay principally
with the West Indies and South
America. During the year 1837,
14,000 emigrants lett Bremen, or
rather Bremerhaven, for the United
States, the number of passages made
being 172; whereas, averaging th"j
years from 1841 to 1850, only 42 passages annually were made from
Hamburg. It was dear, however, that the trade with North America was
far more capable ul development, and had before it a much greater
future, than that of the West Indies or of South America.

The Hamburg shipowners of that day despatched occasional emigrant
isels to North America, but the traffic was wanting both in regularity
d in organisation ; and it became evident that, in order to assure Ham-
rg and its fleet their share in the coming trade, it would be necessary
create a regular service of boats to the United States.

The calling into existence of this great line casts a striking light
on the state of affairs at that period; and a short account of the early
irs of the undertaking will doubtless awaken general interest.
At the outset, it was decided to start a regular despatch of sailing- vessels.

The Lookout.

People looked, in those days, somewhat askance at the new-faivgled <»teAnh
boat. True^ the "Sirius" and the "Great Western" had crossed the Atlantk
from England; and a Steamship Company had been formed in that country iji
1840; but experience as to the steamer was still too limited for the shippers
to resort to steam as a substitute for the cheaper motive power of wind.

So then, in the spring of 1847, a number of the most respected Hamburg
merchants gathered together to discuss ways and means for the foundation
i>f the purposed undertaking; and, though their plans were extremely modest,
they found the greatest difficulty in obtaining the necessary funds.

How difficult it was may be gathered from the chary manner in which
the First shares were taken-up. These consisted of 60, and \^'cre divided
;imotig no fewer than 41 shareholders, the greatest number of shares sub
scribed for by any one individual being only four. In many cases the sub
scriber, on reconsidering the bold step he had taken, withdrew his consent.
itnd either removed his name from the subscribers' list or transferred his
i^hares to someone else. It may be noted, here, that the share capital
tif the company has now risen to 125 million marks.

At last, however, on the 27tli May 1847, at a general meeting ol
the shareholders, the company was constituted under the stj'le of the
*Haraburg'Amerikanische Packetfahrt Actien-Gesellschaft" for the purpose
ikf establishing regular communication with North America by means of
Fiaiiing- vessels carrying the Hamburg flag. So far as capital permitted,
the required ships were to be built or bought and, if necessary^ cba'fercd
to undertake the voyages from and to New York.

The company being thus established, a considerable period elapsed be
fore the working of the line could be commenced. For, despite the not over
plenteous funds, the managers were desirous of obtaining sound and fast
sailing vessels. Negotiations were opened with all the most coi[ipetent docki?
of the German coast and (ship-building being at that time cheaper on thi"
BaJtic than on the Elbe or Weser) also with Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
But, after long consideration of the pros and cons, it was decided, nolwlth
standing' the difference in price, to place orders for three ships in Hiimi-sur^;
uhile a fourth was to be bought second-hand either in England or America.

The construction of the three new boats was begun in Deccdiber 1847:
the names chosen for them were "Deutschland", "Rhein" and ".America",
the last afterwards receiving the name of *North America". The contract
price for the three vessels with complete fittings was 367,500 marks; and
the sum rci^erved for the purchase of the fourth ship was 67,5(H) marks.

How diminutive do these figures appear when compared with thi-
cost of the great vessels of the present day, which often aniounta tn
millions for a single steamer. The *Deutschland" for instance^ the fastesi
steamer of the Company, cost 12,500,000 marks.

In the meanwhile, 62 shares had been subscribed-for, thus raising the
working capital to 465,000 marks. After payment had been made for t^ '
ships, there remained, however, only 30,000 marks, an exceedingly sms
sum for a new enterprise that had to manipulate so vast an apparatus

Two of the sailing-vessels left the stocks in October 1848. The thin
the ^Rhein", was not ready for launching till the following month, an
then had the misfortune to capsize, though it was soon re-floated. Thj
incident was, for the seamen, a very unfavourable omen. And yet it wa
this very vessel which, by its brilliant and rapid passages, did so muc
towards establishing the repute of the Packetfahrt Ships as fast sailers

It may be noted, here, that the shipbuilders, never having, as they
said, constructed such large vessels, made a serious error in their calcu*
lations, and lost considerably on the transactions. Fifty years ago, the
building of a ship of such dimensions as the *Deutschland" (700 tons)
was an event of great magnitude. Nowadays, German docks build sailing-
ships of 5000 tons (the full-rigged ship "Preussen" of the Hamburg firm
of Laeisz has a gross tonnage of 5080); while the great freight steamers
are three and even five times as large: the *Graf Waldersee", "Patricia", and
"Pretoria", for instance, built for the Company in Germany, have each a
registered tonnage of about 13,000; while the passenger and cargo steamer
"Kaiserin Auguste Victoria" — a gigantic vessel built at the Vulcan Docks
in Stettin for the North Atlantic service — has a tonnage of 25,000 tons.

The full-rigged ship, *Deutschland", was the largest of the three
vessels and was capable of accommodating 200 steerage and 20 cabin
passengers, a considerable figure in those times. At the present day the
crew alone of such fast steamers as the *Deutschland" numbers more
than 550 men; while 300 steerage and 800 cabin passengers are carried.

Concerning the arrangements and manipulation of the sailing-ships,
the then managing-director of the company, Herr Adolf Godeffroy, gave
the shareholders the follow:ing detailed description: —

"The ships have turned out very handsome. The arrangements for cabin and
steerage passengers, avoiding all superfluous luxury, are as pretty and comfortable as
one could desire. Each ship has a small library on board: the crockery bears the name
of the ship: linen is provided in plenty for the use of passengers. .The fact that each
passenger has a bed to himself is particularly worthy of mention. The judiciousness
of these comfortable arrangements has been well rewarded: passengers who had the
intention to travd by the boats of other companies, having inspected those of the
"Packetfahrt", have decided to book by this line. Special consideration has been paid
to the choice of captains; and, by great good fortune, men have been hit upon who
are not merely first-rate navigators, but who also understand, by their friendly, attentive,
and sociable character, to render the life of passengers on board the boats as agreeable
as possible. Captain and officers have received a special uniform, and have been supplied
with comprehensive instructions, worked out with reference to their position on board.
As there is no similar Packet-boat service in existence, it has been the endeavour of
the managers to produce something of great excellence; and all the ships have, from
the outset, been built of a substantial type and fitted with the necessary luxury. In
this respect. the managers have taken the Austrian Lloyd Packet-boat Company as their
pattern. Moreover, books have been introduced (one for the cabins and one for the
steerage), which, on completion of each voyage, the captain has to lay before the
passengers for them to enter possible complamts.**

The company was now in possession of three vessels. Unfortunately,
however, it had not been found feasible to complete the purchase of the
fourth vessel: neither in Great Britain nor in the United States could a
suitable boat be obtained. Consequently, the managers had accepted the offer
of a ship then on the stocks of a Bremerhaven shipwright. In possession of this
vessel, named the "Elbe", the company was now ready to commence a regular
packet-boat service; and, on the 15*1^ of October 1848, the '^Deutschland",
under her commander, Captain Hancker, started on the first voyage.

Like every new enterprise, the Packetfahrt met with many dis
appointments and reverses. These were caused mainly by fluctuatini
political and commercial circumstances. They may be passed over wit!
the remark that the year 1852 was the first which permitted payment o
a dividend. But, despite the modest results, the company endeavoured
confidently and energetically, to extend both its fleet and its commerci?
operations. Thus, in 1851, another large sailer, the *Oder", had bee
introduced, having accommodation for 250 steerage and 40 cabin pa?
sengers; and this was followed in 1853, by the *Donau".

CHILDREN'S HOOM
of the Hamburg' American Uttr^s Steamer "Amerika"

The 6 vessels, with a combined burden of 4,000 tons, were considered,
at that day, a very respectable fleet. Each of the boats made, on the
average, three voyages annually, thus carrying about 12,000 tons cargo
to New York and bringing back a like quantity. The pi-esent twin-screw
steamer ^^Pennsylvania", can take on board more cargo than the whole
sailing-fleet could carry in one year I It is capable of making ten, voyages
to America and back in a twelvemonth, carrying 120,000 tons on each
outward and each homeward journey. The sailing - fleet of the
company in the year 1853 would have required nine years for the trans-
port. The vessels took, on the average, about 40 days to reach New York: the
return voyage was made in 29 days, — the outward and homeward voyage,
with stoppage in New York, in about 90 days. The number of passengers
carried, in 1848, was 168; in 1849, 1474 persons; in 1850, 1420 persons;
in 1851, 3448 persons; in 1852, 4666 persons; in 1853, 4950 persons.

We have now arrived ^t an event of great moment to the Company,
namely, the introduction of the Steamship!

Both at home and abroad, steamship companies had been formed;
and, consequently, in 1854, the Packetfahrt, resolved to try the experiment
of running two screw-steamers, each having a burden of 1800 — 2000 tons
and engines of 300 H-P. The total cost was to be 1,500,000 marks, the
crew to consist of 60 men, the consumption of coal to be 2 tons per hour.
The working capital having been correspondingly increased, the two
vessels were .ordered in England. Their length was to be 300' deck,
280' keel, — their greatest breadth 38 Vg' and depth 26', the gross burden
2026 reg. tons, and estimated speed 12 — 12 V2 knots. In consideration of the
then state of the Elbe, the draft of the steamers was not to exceed 17 feet.

The vessels — named, respectively, 'Hammonia* and *Borussia' — werie
delivered, the one in July and the other in September, 1855. At the
outset, it was found difficult to obtain engineers: the entire commercial
navy of Germany, which reflected in its various flags the motley character
of the many German states, possessed but few steamships; and there was
no source whatever whence engineers could be drawn.

On the other hand, the introduction of English assistants, which
was the customary resort of other companies, appeared to the managers
to be quite out of place. They deemed it important that their vessels
should be manned by exclusively German crews, and ultimately succeeded
in obtaining the services of one of the few experts in marine engineering
then to be had in Germany. This gentleman undertook the organisation
of the whole department, and supervised tiie building of the new steamers.
Furthermore, a crew was trained for the new steamer service, special
instructions being drafted, and the, captains making voyages on foreign
steamships to prepare themselves for the command of their future vessels.

It may be of interest to note here that the steamers, on completion,
were not at once placed in the peaceable service for which they we
intended, but were chartered by the English and French governments f'
the transport of troops to the Crimea. However, in March 1856, th
were employed for the regular monthly steamer service to New York. T
first voyage was made by the 'Borussia* on the l^t of June 1856; and th(
followed such a rapid rise in passenger and cargo traffic between Hambu
and New York that it became necessary to start a fortnightly service.

The period which now commences includes a continual progress
the development of the fleet and the introduction of new lines of bos

It is also a period of keen competition, in which the Company ultimately
comes out victorious.

In the year 1868, the last sailing vessels of the Company are disposed
of; and it becomes henceforth a steamship concern only.

' In 1867 the New Orleans— Havanna Line, which did not prove very
remunerative, was started. The year 1870 saw the creation of the monthly
service between Hamburg and the West Indies, with Havre as port of call;
though, in consequence of the war, the boats did not begin running till
March 26*^ 1871. The central point for the West Indian trafBc was
originally laid in Trinidad, but was afterwards transferred to St. Thomas.
But, even then, eight years were spent in making sacrifices for German
trade, ere ^ny profit was obtained on the West India Line. Upwards of
4 million marks were absorbed in this way, before the Company began to
obtain the masteiy of the situation. In connection with the West India Mail
Service, a local one from St. Thomas to Hayti and Mexico was introduced.

About the opening of the 'eighties', began that separation of the
cargo traffic from the mail and passenger service which led to the forma-
tion of the so-called Express Service and the development of the modern
fast steamer. At first, the managers in Hamburg could not make up their
minds to follow the example of the other steamship companies. The
unavoidably deep draft of the required vessels excluded their being
despatched from Hamburg; and the company feared to face the cost of
despatching from the Lower Elbe, as this was known, from former
experience to be very expensive. Moreover, the want of suitable docks
doubtless affected the decision; the dry-dock of the Company was not
capable of admitting vessels of the proposed dimensions; and private docks
of that day were likewise too small. Furthermore, the lucrativeness of the fast
steamer had not yet been sufficiently tested for one to place much faith therein.
It was, therefore, resolved to strike a middle course and to adopt a type of
vessel which, while it showed many improvements, was yet suitable to local
conditions in point of draft, and retained the principle of combined cargo
and passenger traffic. Such a steamer, afterwards the *Hammonia' (III),
was ordered in January 1881. At the same time, the then existing steamers
were remodelled at considerable cost, most of them receiving an increase
in deck constructions, so as to meet the modern requirements of passenger
traffic and turn the hold to good account for cargo purposes.

The animated emigration and the rise in the cargo trade which began in the
year 1881, necessitated the despatch of boats to New York twice a-week.

In New York, the Bremen and the Hamburg steamers had hitherto made use
of the same landing-place, even after its purchase by the North German Lloyd.
But, on the introduction of. the weekly double service, the space at disposal
proved inadequate. The Packetfahrt consequently acquired, in 1881, an advan-
tageously situated landing-place. Here, at a cost of about 3 million marks,
warehouses, wharfs, bridges and dwellings for the higher officials were
erected, which still have but few rivals in the whole harbour of New York

The concern, which had already attained vast proportions, receive
such an impulse from the increased trade with New York and the openir
of new lines to the West Indies that the Company's steamers, in the yes
1884, covered upwards of one million knots. Two years later, anotht
new line was started, namely, that between Stettin and New York.

In 1887, a thorough reorganisation of the fleet was commenced. What
ever was no longer in accord with modern demands was removed an

replaced by improved material: the old 'Spardeck' ships were disposed-of,
and the West India Fleet augmented by the formation of a fifth line.

It was now deemed an appropriate time for entering on the question
of the fast steamer; especially as the twin-screw steamers of the English
lines had manifested various advantages over other vessels: they not only
possessed higher velocity, but also great security, since, if one machine
became damaged, the vessel could still proceed though at reduced speed.

The Company, accordingly, decided to adopt this system. A German and
An English firm each received orders for the building of a twin-screw steamer.
Cfcrman shipbuilders were thus given the opportunity of showing what they
could do i n the production of vessels of the largest proportions : hitherto no
attempt had been made in Germany 'to build steamers of such dimensions.

Furthermore, increased comfort for emigrants was also a matter of
consideration; and the steerage was accordingly divided into chambers,
nn improvement greatly appreciated by the passengers.

The long depression that had existed in the cargo trade came to an
end in 1888, and was followed by a brisk rise. The opportunity of
extending its operations -was not lost by the Packetfahrt. A new line was
started to Baltimore, the despatches to the West Indies were increased to
six per nitmth, the four steamers of the Hamburger Carr Line, which was
viOLind-Lip in this year, were purchased, orders were placed for ne>X'
vessels, and the share capital of the company raised to 30,000,000 marks
for the purpose of acquiring two more fast steamers.

Moreover, the formation, in the year 1889, of a line of boats to
Ptiihidelphia is to be noted.

The Urst two fast steamers, the **Auguste Victoria** and the ** Columbia",
were delivered in 1889, and were followed, in 1891, by the '*Fiirst
Bismarck". This last ship was also built in Germany, and made, in her
first year, the fastest voyage between Southampton and New York that
had as yet been accomplished.

The form and fittings of the steamers of the Hamburg-American Line,
keeping piice with technical progress, have, in the course of time, passed
through many transformations. The earliest steamships were fitted with
wooden bulwarks and deck-cabins. Next came the 'spardeck' system with
Hat decks and but few constructions on them. This type" of vessel held
the field on the New York Line till the opening of the eighties, being
followed hy the three-deckers with bridge, back and poop stretching a long
* distance fore and aft. In the spardeck-ships, the first saloon on the main
deck ran from the engines to the stern, and was surrounded by the
passengers* berths, which lined both sides of the boat. Amidships, and
rni both sides of the boiler and engine, were the officers' cabins &c.;
'.vhilc fore, la}^ the second saloon with the second-class cabins.

FroiTt the very commencement, the fast steamers, by their speed and
inagniticejice, won the favour of the public. The *Auguste Victoria", whicl
at first was only I4OV2 metres long, was afterwards lengthened by the inser
tion of a new part; her measurements then being, — length 159*14 metres
breadth 1 7*2 metres, draft 10*3 metres. The engines had an indicated H-]
of 13,3U}, and gave the vessel a mean speed of 19 knots per hour.

The Auguste Victoria and the Furst Bismarck were in the Nortl
Atlantic nervice and were also employed as pleasure steamers. In 1904
both vessels, as well as the Columbia wer-e sold to make room for the two
large ocean steamers "Amerika" and *Kaiserin Auguste Victoria". It is not in

ion in the build of the

their speed, but in their appointments, size and remuncrativeness, that these

two new steamers illustrate Uie progress of ship-building. What the

Company has accomplished in tlie former direction may be gathered from

the following statistics, which show the different fastest voyages made,

several of them forming the present record.

1869 New York— Plymouth, "Holsatia" ....

1891 Southampton— New York, *Furst Bismarck"

1900 New York- Plymouth, '"Deutschland" . .. .

This increase in speed is due not only to modificati
vessels but, above all, to the improvement in the engines and machinery.

The Hamburg-American Line was one of the first shipping companies to
adopt the compound engines, some of their vessels having been fitted with the
triple expansion system as early as 1886. Their present fleet is, in the main,
supplied with these engines ; though, to avoid vibration, the latest steamers
are propelled by the new quadruple expansion engines on Schlick's system.

The improvement in the machinery was accompanied by a consider--
able reduction in the proportionate consumption of coal, the quantity now
required for one indicated H-P per hour being 65 kg. Of course, the total
consumption of coal has risen enormously with the growth of the fleet.
In 1856, the first year in which the vessels were driven by steam, only
8,000 tons were required. But, from the foundation of the company to
the present time, 15,000,000 tons have been consumed.

In 1891, to find employment for the fa^ steamers, which formerly lay idle
during the winter, the Company started pleasure trips to Italy and the Orient.

The trial succeeded beyond all jexpectation, the orient voyage of the
"Auguste Victoria" being a phenomenal success. The trips consequently
became a permanent institution; and voyages to the West Indies, and
annual pleasure trips to the land of the midnight sun (first voyage 1894)
were introduced, the steamer going as far as Spitzbergen. The opportunities
thus afforded to tourists are made good use of; and a satisfactory number
of passengers is always obtained. One can scarcely conceive of a more
delightful journey than in such a floating palace, which carries the voyager,
surrounded by all the most modern comforts, into the wildest and most
inhospitable regions of the earth.

Moreover, in order to extend these pleasure voyages, a yacht, called the
*Prinzessin Victoria Luise", has been built (1900). It is the first boat specially
designed for pleasure trips, and has won, everywhere, general admiration.
Having been honoured by a visit from the German Emperor a few days
after the trial trip, she left Hamburg on January S'h 1901 fbr her first
cruise to the West Indies, and has, since then, cruised with great success
also in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, round the British Isles, in
Norway and to the Northern capitals.

The success of the *Prinzessin Victoria Luise*' and the desire to bring
these exceedingly healthy and educative pleasure trips within reach of a
larger public led to the building, in 1904, of another tourist steamer of
similar dimensions to that of the **Prinzessin Victoria Luise" but with les?
luxurious appointments. This new steamer, named the *Meteor" and
intended solely for pleasure touring, commenced its maiden voyage on the

"Prinzen" Steamer of the Hamburg-American Line.
{Passenger and Cargo Vessel of medium size.)

Hamburg-American Line's Tourist Steamer "METEOR",
for Scandinavian and Mediterranean Trips.

3rd June 19U4, coasting along Norway up to Droiitheim. -In the following
month five similar trips followed. Voyages to the watering-places* of
North West Europe and to the Mediterranean were made in the Autumn
and Winter months. By the introduction of this vessel, 1st class sea
voyages have, for the first time, been rendered as cheap as land journeys
of a similar length. As a consequence, the public have shown there appre-
ciation of the undertaking in the most lively manner.

The separation of goods and passenger traffic, — necessitated by the
Introduction of the fast steamers, — induced the company to construct, from
the middle of the nineties onwards, new vessels adapted to carrying a certain
number of passengers and yet capable of stowing enormous quantities of cargo.

These vessels were styled "Steamers of the *P' class". The first of
them was the 'Pennsylvania*, a twin-screw steamer, having a length of
170Vs ^*^ ^ breadth of 18*96 m. and a draft of 1156 m. The engines
indicate 5,0()0 H-P. and propel the ship at a mean speed of 13 V4 knots per
hour. The registered gross tonnage is 13,333; and the vessel can carry
a cargo of about 14,000 tons. The 'Pennsylvania' and her sister ships, the
Tretoria', *?atricia* and *Graf Waldersee', were, at the time of their building,
the largest vessels in the world and remained the largest German cargo boats
till the Ham burg- American Line ordered their gigantic passenger and freight
slEQTTiers *Amerika' (22,225 tons) and 'Kaiserin Auguste Victoria' (24,581 tons).
To transport the cargo of a P-steamer by rail, 28 trains of 50 double trucks
each are necessary. These mountains of goods, by the help of 22 wind-
lasses, disappear on board through 9 loading-holes. The ships are so-
called * three -deckers" or "storm-deckers", that is, the structures on deck
tie BO high above the surface of the water, that, even when the sea is
running high, it does not become necessary for passengers to go below.
AU the passenger arrangements lie on the two promenade decks above the
main deck. In the interior, there are 2 further decks; so that each vessel
has a total of five, • and, besides its vast cargo, can take 3,000 passengers on
board. For the transport of fresh meat, there are ice-chambers having a
capacity at' 33,000 cubic feet; while the stalls accommodate 400 live cattle.

A further important advance in shipbuilding is marked by the com-
pletion of the fast-steamer ** Deuischland" . This vessel, which began its
lirst voyage on the 5th July 1900, was built at the "Vulcan Works" in
Stettin, Its engines, with 37,800 H-P., afford it the enormous speed of
more than 23*5 knots per hour. It has cabin accommodation for 767 pas-
sengers; and its saloons, offices and cabins are so beautiful that the vessel
soon acquired the title of *The loveliest ship in the world". ''The blue
ribbon of the Atlantic" was won by her on her first appearance on the
ocean. Since the "Deutschland" entered the service, a number of other
[lew steamers have been introduced by the Hamburg-American Line, the
principal of them being the ""Moltke" and *Blucher". Equal to the ''P"
liners in comfort and steadiness, but fitted with greater luxury and
possessing a much higher speed, these vessels began running theii
Atlantic voyages in the spring and summer respectively of 1902, anc
^ince then have become great favourites among American travellers, a!
they represent the latest development in ocean travel de luxe.

The success of these ships — whose steady motion and unexceller
comfort and beauty withdrew many a passenger from the elder fas
steamers — induced the Hamburg- American Line to ord^r two steamerb
of medium speed but of an exceptionally handsome and roomy type.

These are the above-mentioned twin-screw steamers •Amerika" and
•Kaiserin Auguste Victoria". The former, built by Harland & Wolf of
Belfast, made its first passage on the U^h of Oct. 1905: the latter, built at
the Stettiner Vulcan Docks, made its maiden trip on the lO^h May 1906.
Together, they undoubtedly form the finest vessels of the Company's fleet.
The larger of them, the •Kaiserin Auguste Victoria", with a length
of 700 feet, breadth 77 feet and depth 54 feet, possesses an average
speed of 17 knots. Its greatest displacement is 42,500 tons, with
accommodation for 1,100 calkin and 2,300 steerage passengers. More-
over, being registered to carry 24,581 gross registered tons, it will
be able to take a cargo of 16,000 tons. Besides the saloons customary
on large German steamers, the present vessel is provided with a special
restaurant under the same management as Hotel Ritz in Paris, thus enabling
cabin passengers, if they wish, to purchase tickets for the voyage only,
and to take their meals as they please in the restaurant.

For the tra^c with Mexico and South America, as well as between Genoa
and New York, there were built, in 1901—1903, seven steamers of the •Prinzen"
class, all somewhat smaller than those of the North Atlantic traffic, but splen-
didly and suitably fitted. On their first appearance in the harbours ofBrazil and
Mexico, they aroused general enthusiasm, being the largest and most beautiful
that had ever been placed in regular service to these countries.

In the summer of 1907 were introduced Ihc "President Grant" and
the "President Lincoln", — two steamers similar to the P-liners but of
a larger type. They are about 183 metres in length, with a gross
tonnage of about 18,120 and an average speed of about 14 knots. Their
crews number about 344 each; and they can carry 3,805 passengers.

Another steamer, to be launched in 1910, is now on the stocks.
Its measurements exceed by 500/o those of the "Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria"; and it will have a gross tonnage of 34,000.

pany's steamers: —

The larger and moft powerful the Company gfew, the greater became
• its ascendancy over the other concerns which, in the course of time, had
introduced regular services between Hamburg and other ports not called-at
by the boats^ of the Packetfahrt. It was particularly difficult for those
companies wliich traded to New York and the ports of the same 'hinter-
land* to compete with the great rival. One such company was the Hansa
Line, which had been running boats to Montreal and Boston from 1881.
It was incorporated with the Packetfahrt in the year 1892; and its nine
Atlantic liners were taken over at a cost of five million marks. The
voyages to New Orleans, which shortly before the amalgamation had been
re-opened in conjunction with the Hansa, were now, like those to Montreal
and Boston, regularly run.

Thus the company had gradually extended the network of its opera-
tions from Hamburg to all the principal North American ports of the
Atlantic sea-board, to the Antilles and to the north coast of South
America, /. e, from the St. Lawrence to Venezuela.

But the company did hot rest on its oars. In the 3rear 1896 came
a new line from Genoa to La Plata. The share capital was raised, within a
few years, from 30 million to 80 million marks, and the fleet enlarged by
the addition of new vessels. The year 1898 saw an important extension
in the shape of a service to East Asia. The Imperial Mail contract of
the North German Lloyd was shared by the- Hamburg- American Line, the
number of voyages being doubled and the company placing orders for
4 large mail-steamers. In conjunction with Lloyd, too, a line of cargo-
steamers to East Asia was inaugurated in January 1898. The competing
Hamburg-Kingsin Line was bought up; and soon afterwards a line of
cargo-steamers was started from New York to East Asia via the Suez
Canal. The Chinese service received its final form in the Spring of 1901:
the Hamburg- American Line then acquired the German Mail Line to
Tsingtau (Kiautschau) and Tschifu (Tientsin), started the line '^Canton-
Hongkong-Shanghai", joined in the Yangtse trade, (Shanghai-Hankau),
and opened working departments at Hongkong, Tsingtau and Shanghai,
obtaining in the latter place extensive harbour room. Moreover, the
company has increased its coasting trade in East Asia by the lines
Hongkong -Nagasaki -Vladivostok, (opened in 1902), Wuhu - Chingkiang-
Canton (1902), Hongkong- Vladivostok (1902), and Hongkong-Port Arthur-
Chemulpo-Dalny (1903). The year 1903 also saw a re-arrangement of the
mail and cargo service of the combined Hamburg-American Line and the
North German Lloyd. The contracting parties agreed, for practical
reasons, to give up mutual working and simply to avoid competition with
one another. Since then the Hamburg- American Line's cargo service to
East Asia and the North German Lloyd's Imperial Mail service have been
separately conducted by their respective owners. Of course the Hamburg-
American Line no longer shares the government subvention for the mail
service to East Asia. In June 1900 a new line to Northern Brazil was
opened, the Hamburg de Freitas Company's. Lines to South America being
purchased a few months later. Thus, at the present day, the whole of
the Hamburg Lines trading with the East Coast of South America are
worked by the Hamburg-American Line in conjunction with the Hamburg-
South American Steamship Company. Moreover, since the commencement
of 1901, a contract exists by which the Hamburg-American Line takes
part in the service of the Hamburg-Kosmos Line on the West Coast of

America, to Chili, Peru, Ecuador, Central America^ San Francisco and the
harbours of Paget Sound; while the Company acquired, in April 1901,
the English Atlas Line, working, with 7 steamers, 3 lines from New York
to the West Indies and the neighbouring ports of the mainland, this
service being augmented by a line from New York to Jamaica. Another
recent and important extension is the six-day fast tug service started in
April 1902 between Hamburg and the Rhenish Provinces. In the year
1903 were added a direct line of passenger steamers to Mexico and a
line for the transport of ore from the North (Narvik and Lulea) to ^e
Rhenish ports and Emden. Jointly with the North German Lloyd, the
Scandia Line of the Hamburg- American Company was extended, in 1904, to
the ports of Norway and Sweden in order to obtain a share in the emigrant
traffic from those countries. At the close of 1902 a 'Season Service" was
introduced from Genoa along the Riviera coast to Nice, — not to mention
the numerous improvements and extensions of already existing lines.

In the summer of 1900 came the task, shared with the North German
Lloyd, of transporting the German troops, ammunition, commissariat &c.
to China, as well as of carrying the necessary horses from San Francisco
to the scene of war. For this purpose, the Hamburg-American Line provided
13 steamers. Furthermpre, the steamer Savoia was fitted up as a hospital ship,
and placed at the disposal of the German Emperor. In the estimation of the
authorities and of the officers and troops carried, the company performed,
in a most satisfactory manner, both the above task and that of trans-
porting back the troops and horses to Germany in the summer of 1901.

The Herero insurrection led to the Hamburg-American Line's being
called upon in 1904 to transfer troops and horses to German South
West Africa.

Special mention must also be made of the Company's activity in
arranging pleasure trips. It was in the spring of 1891 that the fast
steamer Auguste Victoria made her first voyage to the Orient; and since
then the service has grown in favour year by year. Besides this vessel,
other passenger steamers as well as two specially appointed tourist
steamers — "Meteor'* and ^'Ozeana'* —- make annual trips to the East,
to Norway (North Cape), Spitzbergen and Iceland, to the West Indies, to
famous watering-places &c.

In 1904 the Company took over Carl Stangen's Tourist OfQce in
Berlin.

In connection with the Hamburg and Anglo-Anjerican Nile Company
founded in 1905, the company now shares in the passenger navigation
on the Nile, a special express service Berlin-Naples-Alexandria having
been inaugurated in 1906. The same year saw the inception of a service
to the ports of Arabia, Persia and the Sudan, as well as a fast-steamer
service to La Plata. A year later were bought eight steamers of the
Woerraann Line, in conjunction with which company eleven regular lines
are run to Africa.

At the present day the lines of the Hamburg-American Coippany encom-
pass the whole globe. In the following list we give an enumeration of the
different steamship lines which, in 5ie summer of 1907, were worked
either by the Company alone or in conjunction with other shipowners.

h^ Trips to Portugal, Spain, Italy, Egypt. England, France &c. by the regular

As the fleet grew in size, it became necessary to extend the dock
room and the various premises. In the year 1903, the Hamburg government
iiompleted a large harbour with four quays to be leased to the Line at a
cent of IV3 million marks per annum. Similarly, at Emden, harbour pre-
inises and workmen's houses for the requirements of the line were con-
structed. Great progress has also been made in the arrangements for
emigration, the Emigrants' Hall on the Veddel in Hamburg having been
opened in 1902. It is a model building which obtained the highest award
i\\ the last Paris exhibition; and its appointments, both from a hygienic and
a social point of view, leave nothing to be desired. Moreover, not to speak
of smaller constructions, the vast quay-premises of the Company in New York
are also being extended; and large offices have been erected ontbeAlster
nt Hamburg. Occupation was taken of these vast Administrative Buildings
[*n Alsterdamm and in Ferdinand-street in June 1903.

Among the various institutions for the benefit of the company's
employees, one of the most prominent is the **Invalids', Widows' and
•hyhans' Fund'*, which has existed from 1888. On its foundation, the
L'ninpany subscribed to the funds the sum of M. 30,000. Moreover,
until the concern has become self-supporting, an annual contribution,
amounting to half the total premiums, is to be made. The members con-
sist of the • inspectors, captains, officers, engineers, subordinate officers &c.
M\d of all assistants employed in the head-office, the freight and passenger
departments, the forwarding offices, in the docks and on the quays.

In foreign ports, the company owns the following buildings and
erections: at Stettin a store-shed, at Havre a coal-shed, at Cherbourg a
ianding-place, at Montreal stores, at Hohoken the landing-place already
mentioned, at SU Thomas a landing-place with several store-sheds, a large
coal-wharf and overseers* dwellings, at Kingston (Jamaica) and at Para
(North Brazil) large structures, at Hongkong and Tsingtau offices, at
Shanghai extensive harbour room, &c. This year the Company's new
premises at 41/45 Broadway, New York, will be opened.

Thus, at the present day, the Hamburg-American Line, so humble in
its inception, has grown into a shipping company of vast proportions,
and, indeed, has no superior in the whole world. Does not its growth
reflect a period in the history of civilisation? Is it not, moreover, prin-
cipally to the great shipping companies that the rise of German trade and
industry is due? They have co-operated untiringly, as pioneers, in the
endeavour to push German commerce to a leading place among the
emporiums of the world, and to render the commercial navy of Germany
one of the mightiest and most respected.

Gennany and the German-spealLiDg Coimtries.

The confines of Germany have varied
considerably at different periods
At one time, they included all conntries
inhabited by the peoples speaking the
German tongue, whether High German
or Low German. The lands which were
under their domination were also in-
cluded in the German Empire, then
called <<D«s ttomUeh-Uentsebe Belch".
Its emperors were l^rinces of South-
German kingdoms, nominally elective,
but practically hereditary. The sceptre
was held longest by the House of Haps-
burg, into whose hands it past in 1»8:
it was transferred, by the marriage of
Maria Theresia with Franz Stephen,
to the House of Hapshurg-L'rraine, with
whom it remained till the hamiliation
of Austria bv Napoleon in 180>.

In the following year the Reichstag,
composed of the German Princes entitled
to elect the Kaiser and to determine
the politics of the Empire (Electors),
was dissolved. In its place follo'w^ed a
federation of German Princes, called
the Bheinband, which was under the
protection of Napoleon and indeed
controlled by him. Franz IL of Austria,
having lost all real power, dropped the
title of the Emperor of Germany and
styled himself Emperor of Austria.

The old German Empire, or **Eolj
Soman Empire of the 6eE|nan Nation",
thus ceased to exist; and the Khembund
which succeeded it, continued only till
1813, being then destroyed by the iresh
outbreak of Napoleonic wars which
terminated at the field of Waterloo.

On the 9ti» of June 1815, a new com-
pact was agreed to among the German.
Princes: it was arranged that the com-
mon interests of the different states,
from Austria on the South to Holstein
on the North, should be cared for by a
Federal House (Bundestag) to meet at
Frankfort o/M. and in which Austria
bad the conduct of business. It was
determined that differences among the
members should be settled by this
destag. But the organisation was
)ry loose one; and, in 186H, the two
ing members of the Federation,
tria and Prussia, became entangled
. dispute that was only settled by
appeal to arms. The result being
stroas for the former state, and the
id having ceased to exist, a fresh
)ration,called the Norddnutsche Bund,
formed This, under Bismarck's iron
d, was destined to be the snlvatlon
ermany, for it is doubtful whether

her divided members would, otherwise,
have been abTe to withstand the French
invasion that followed a few years later.

The confiiot, known as the Franoo-
Prussian War, sprang nominally out of
a disagreement with regard to the Spanish
succession. It was on the Ifitla of July 1870
that the disrupture ot diplomatic re-
lations occurred ^of. Ems, route 97 b);
while the declaration of war took place
on the 19th of the same month.

The decisive battle was fonght at
Sedan on the t** September, Napoleon HI.
surrendering next day. Seventeen days
later, the siege of Paris began and lasted
through an exceptionally severe winter
till the 28th of January 1871. On that
date the capitulation took place. But
hostilities continued for another menth;
while peace was not concluded till the
treaty was signed at the congress of
Frankfort on the 10th of May 18U.

In the meantime, on the 18th January,
the King of Prussia had accepted the
(mperial title at Versailles. The old
''Band** was dissolved, and the modern
German Empire was created, its affairs
being placed in the hands of a Bundes-
rat and ot a popular assembly called
the Beiohstag.

The tormer consists of delegates ap-
pointed by the princes of the several
federal states. The Kingdom ot Prussia
sends 17 members, the Kingdom of
Bavaria 6, the Kingdoms of Saxony and
Wui temberg 4 each, the Grand Duchies
of Baden and Hessen 8 each, that of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin 2, the Duchy of
Brunswick 2 and the remaining states
1 each, namely:— the Grand Dachies oC
Sachsen -Weimar, Mecklenburg- Sttelita
and Oldenburg; the Duchies ot Sachsen-
Meiningen, Sachsen- Altenburg, Sachsen-
Coba*-^-Gotha and Anhalt; the prin-
cipalities of Schwarzburg-Budolstadt)
Sch warzburg - Sondershausen, Waldeok,
Beass a. L., Reuss j. L., Lippe and
Sohaumburg-Lippe; and the small re-
publics of Hamburg. Lttbeck & Bremen.
The provinces of Elsass & Lothringen
(Alsace-Lorraine) are unrepresented. It
may also be noted here that the Grand
Dachy of Luxembourg, which had been
erected in 1815 and lies to the north-west
ot Lorraine, was formerly a member of
the Federation; but in 1871, its sovereign
being the then king of the Netherlands,
it was not included in the new Empire.
Since the death otWillftim III. of Holland,
the state has become, by reason of the
Salic Law, quite independent.

The Bandesrat is under the Presi-
dency of the Imperial Chancellor, who
is appointed by the German Kaiser.

All Imperial bills must receive the
sanction of the Bundesrat and the
Eeiohstag before they can become law;
while the executive rests with the mi-
nistry. This ministry, however, though
acting for the whole Empire, is really
the ministry of Prussia. ' Thus, when
we consider also the preponderance of
votes which Prussia possesses in the
Bundesrat, it becomes evident how gieat
a part this state plays in the concerns
of Germany.

Each individual state controls its
own internal affairs, and has, in most
cases, an upper and a lower chamber.
These chambers bear various names,
such as Herren-Hans and Abgeordneten-
Haas (Prussia), Landtagr Ac.

The boundaries of the present Empire
are: - the Baltic and North Seas with
Denmark on the North; Holland, France

and Luxemburg on the West; SwiiE«r-
land and Austria on the South; and
Russian Poland on the East.

These boundaries, howeve*-, are pure-
ly political: for, if we regard the con-
figuration of the land, we must draw
a line somewhere through the middle
of the country and dividing the high-
lands from the lowlands, which would
then include the states to the East and
West that are historically separated
from Germany; while the Highlands
to the South are geogrnphically in-
separable from Switzerland and Austria.
Again, if we turn to the language, we
shall find that the homely Piatt dialects
of the North differ but slightly from the
language of the Netherlands; whereas
they are totally incomprehensible to the
Bavarian and Suabian peasants, whose
vernacular is almost identical with
those of the Austrian and the Switzer.

It must not, however, be supposed
that the language of the educated is

to any appreciable extent affected by
the influence of dialect. Of course,
many a Hanoverian, Westphalian or
Hamburgian still clings to his stock
and steirif whereas other Germans have
everywhere adopted the Sch pronunci-
ation; while the Saxon speaks of Die
Zauperflode instead of Die Zauberfldte,
But to these little distinctions one soon
becomes accustomed; and the American
or English tourist who has thoroughly
mastered his German grammar will
soon be able both to understand and
to make himself understood. For those
speaking no German, there are, in all
better -class hotels, either interpreters
or waiters who understand English.
But, as by no means the majority of
the inhabitants speak more than tlieir
mother-tongue, some acquaintance with
German, however slight, is desirable
for the tourist.

Weights and Measures. From 1871
the decimal system has been in use.
The standard of length is the metre.

which, pointed off decimally, gives deci-
metres and centimetres. The standard
of wei^^ht is the gramme, a kilogramme
equallmg two German pounds, which is
rather more than two English pounds.
AS a matter of fact, things are bought
and sold pro Pfand in Germany. For
liquids, the standard is the litre. (See
Tables at end of book).

Money. The decimal system is also
in use in the coinage. The standard
is a Mark = 100 pfennig. A Dollar is
about marks 4*20. The coins are:—
Gold: 20 mark- piece (Zwaneign
stiick), 10 mark-piece (Zehnmarkst
Silver: 5 mark-piece (Fiinfmarksti
3 mark-piece (ein Taler — now b
called in), 2 mark-piece, 1 mark, Vs n

THE HANSE TOWNS.

Hansa — an old Germanic word

meaning originally "troop" — was the

name applied to an ancient league of

trading towns in the north of Europe.

'''*'- first mention of the league is

in English documents of the

cent., while Hansagrafen (Pre-

s of the Hansa) are known to

existed in Ratisbon as early

I. The league seems to have

unded by German merchants

ad for the purpose of protecting

'"-thering German trade. The

oldest guild was that formed in
London, and upon which the English
kings conferred various trading rights.
A few years later, privileges were
obtained in the Netherlands by the
merchants of Hamburg and Lubeck;
and, 40 years afterwards, Lubeck
allied itself with the Slavonic (Wen-
disch) towns of Wismar and Rostock.
A rapid development of the league
at once set- in; so that, by the end
of the century, it consisted of four
divisions, and included most of the
large towns of Germany, Livonia,
Esthland and Gothland. Ninety towns,
from Reval to Cracow as well as
from Cologne to Lubeck and Wisby,
joined the league and a great annual
convention, called the Hansatag, was

instituted for the purpose of seitiing
its affiiirs as to admission, rejection,
punishments, disputes &c. Its power
at this time had become so great that,
in protection of its members, it even
carried on wars with Den if) ark, and,
later on, with Norway. But the p.eriod
of its greatest prosperity was from
the close of the 13 th century to the
opening of the 15th. It had, at that
time, its agents in the principal towns
of England, Holland, France and other
countries, and acted in Germany as
the channel through which the pro-
ducts of the North were exchanged
for those of Italy and the Orient,
thus rendering Germany the emporium
of North-European commerce.

Its great success, however, was

the cause of its fall. Seeking to keep
the trade of Europe in its own hands,
it came into conflict with England uid
the Netherlands, lost its privileges in
these countries, and was much crip-
pled by the competition which sprang
up after the discovery of America and
the opening- up of the sea- route to
India. Differences also arose among its
members, and it was seriously injured
by the effects of the Thirty Years* War ;
so that, by the close of the I7*hcent.,
it had become little more than a name.
Three towns alone retained their in-
dependence, namely, Hamburg, Bremen
and Liibeck (see routes I and 2).
These suffered severely during the
Napoleonic wars: and only with
the development of modern Germany

Alster-Lust, an island in the Outer
Alstcr with dancing saloons and re-

ficent Lombards Briicke between the
two lakes. Keeping then to the right,
we come to the statue of Busch,
the economist; while, to the left,
stands that to the soldiers who fell
in the Franco- Prussian War (Krieger-
Denkmal). Hence, we pass through
the Esplanade to Dammthor, with
the General Post Office on the one
hand and the Botanical Gardens on
the other. Beyond the gate there
stands, at the corner of Schluter St.,
the Central Telephone Office. It is
a handsome building, — said to be
the largest of the kind in the world.
To the north of the gardens is a

Panorama of the Battle of Worth
(Franco-Prussian War) and the Zoo-
logical Gardens, the latter containing
some fine specimens.

ROUTE B: Taking the reverse di.

and Japanese metal-work are, in Ger-
many, surpassed only by those at Berlin.

Re-crossing the ramparts we visit the

Natural History Museum, open
Sundays 10 — 4 o'clock, and week-
days 1 1—4 o'clock, Mondays excepted.

Continuing southwards, we pass the
Johannis Kloster, and the site of the old

Berliner Bahnhof to the Harbour
and the Quays, which, with their
enormous traffic, present a striking
& picturesque appearance. The quays,
that stretch for a dista'^ce of h miles
along the northern h i. !< of the Elb,
are capable of ace )n.>n.iJating about
400 ocean-going vessels and a like

number of river steamers, as well as
a large quantity of smaller crafL

In the year 1906, the number of
sea -going vessels entering Hamburg
was 15,778, with a total burden of
11,039,000 tons. The number of
vessels leaving the port was 15,790
and their tonnage 11,008^000. Apart
from the passenger traffic to all parts
of the world, the importance which
navigation has for trade may be seen
from the fact that the yearly imports
now figure upwards of 3,215 million
marks and the exports 2,628 millions.

From the Berliner Station, a tram-
way runs alongside the quays down
to the New ElbbrUcke, a bridge
400 metres in length and possessing
a splendid portal.

From the bridge, a ferry boat takes
us to Sandihor Quay, which is, of
course, within the boundary of the
** Freihafen''' ; and, it should be
remembered that no contraband
goods ought to be carried into this
district.

Passing along this quay, we come
to Brook Bridge, which, remarkable
for its two symbolic figures of Ger-
ntattia and Hammonia, forms tlie prin-
cipal entrance to the 'Free Harbour
(Bonded Warehouses).

Beyond the bridge, we keep straight
ahead to Hopjen Markt, where the

beautiful Kicolai Kirche is situated
(see St Nicholas Church, above). At
the N.E. of the Hopfen Markt is the
Trost Bri'tcke with u statue otAnsgar,
the so-called Apostle of the North
(see ^History', above). To the left
are the Reichsbank, Bourse, Town

the building is situated the City
Library, containing some 550,000
volumes, and open daily from 11-12.
On the north side of the gymnasium
runs Speersort St., with Petri Kirche
(see above), and leading into Stein St,
where Jacobi Kirche stands. A car
going westwards takes us to the
corner of Elb SU, where St. Michaelis
Kirche (see above) is situated; or the
same car runs on to the English
Church at Zeughaus Marki (see above).
Southwards from this point, and close
to the river, are the water-works and
reservoir. The tower here, standing
on Elb Hohe, affords an exceedingly
fine view of the harbour &c.

In the same spot is the Deutscne
Seewarte, the Meteorological Station
of the German Admiralty, open for
inspection daily from 11 — 2 o'clock.
The Seewarte was founded in 1881
for the purpose of scientific enquiry into
nautical and meteorological matters.
Close by is the Seemannhaus, «

In the immediate neighbourhood are
Circus Busch, the numerous variety
theatres already mentioned, and the

ever, is itself a new and handsome
pile, standing on the ramparts^ at

out grounds, as we saw at the be-
ginning of our walk, add a great
charm to the town. We can now

iit, Pauli is the great spot for

&c. render it the favourite resort of
sailors, both German and foreign.
The motley crowd assembled here
on Saturdays and Sundays presents
a strikmg picture ot low life in a
seaport town.

A remarkable monument to Bismarck
was erected on the Elbhohe in the
year 1906. It represents the Iron
Chancellor as Roland (cf. Bremen) and
is a massive structure of Black Forest
granite, the figure bemg mounted on
an enormous pedestal with proportion-
ately large bas9 and an approach of
steps.

In sporting matters, and especially
in horse -racing, Hamburg takes a
leading position. The great race-
meeting, the German Derby, is
held, every June, at Horner Moor,
between Hamm and Wandsbeck,
the first prize being of the value
of 100,000 Mks. A like sum is
oflfercd for the Grand Prix, which
is run, annually, at Gross Borstel,

a few weeks earlier than the Ger-
man Derby.

Two of the most important streets
of Hamburg are Neuer Wall, be-
tween Jungfernstieg and the Stadt-

This town adjoins Hamburg on
the western side, and, though so in-
timately connected with the republic, is
distinctly a Prussian town having all
the characteristics of the Monarchy.
There is a harbour and considerable
trade.

In the fashionable street, Palmaille,
which is pleasantly lined with trees.,
is a bronze statue of BlUcher; while,
opposite the Central Railway Station,

an interesting and fantastic fountain,
presented by one of Altona's citizens,
has been erected. A memorial of the
war of 1870 stands close to the
station, and another in Markt St.
At 44 PaUnaille, there is a Natural
History Museum with anthropological
collections. The town contains also
a picture gallery m the Real Gym-
nasium, Kdnig St.; while, in the same
street, at number 164, is the theatre.
Outside the town to the west is
OTTENSEiV, in whose churchyard
may be seen the Tomb of Klopstock,
the so-called German Milton.

From Altona, a line of rail runs
down the Elb to Flottbeck (leu/els-
briickej, and Blankenese with SUll-
berg; but a more interestmg way
of making the^e favourita excursions
is by open carriage along the pretty
turnpike-road that skirts the river's
edge, or by the well-fitted steamers
leaving St. Pauli in summer about
once every hour. The principal
places of interest called - at are the
following: —

TEVFELSBRCCKE, a favourite
summer-resort of the citizens of Ham-
burg, and much frequented by excur-
sionists from Hamburg and Altona.
It may be reached on foot from
Altona in 40 minutes, or from 0th-
marschen Station in 20 minutes: also
from the electric tramway in 7 min.,
the cars running every 10 minutes:
there is also electric-car communi-
cation with Hamburg; though the
pleasantest way is by steamer (see
above). Teufelsbriicke is a truly
delightful place surrounded by gardens
and parks of a luxuriant character.
Lying on the north bank of the Elb
at a spot where the river flows due
westwards, and, moreover, complc' *
enclosed behind by the uplands
Schleswig-Holstein, it receives
the warm breezes from the s<
and enjoys, for its latitude, an
ceptionally mild climate.

establishment called PABK HOTEL,

appointed in the most modern style and
furnished with every comfort The so-
called 'old betel' contains numerous
bed-rooms (almost all looking south),
various drawing-rooms &c. ard a large
winter-garden: it is open to all visitors.
The 'new hotel' is devoted exclusively
to boarders and their guests: it pos-
sesses music and reading rooms &c.
From the windows, balconies and
galleries, a beautiful view is obtained
across the tree-tops of the surrounding
parkf to Teufelsbrttcke below, to Blanke-
nese, down-stream, and to the piotures-

aue fishing-village of Finkenwarder on
le south bank of the Elb. The park
— extensive, shady and charming — is
filled with fine old trees that, here and
there, form arching avenues down to
the acUaoent river, which borders the
park to the south. " Board and lod-
ging from 60 Mks. a-week.

A few miles farther down the river
lies

BliANKEWESE, a picturesque
place with a pop. of 6,(X)0, consist-
ing principally of sailors and fisher-
folk. The spot is surrounded by

very pretty scenery: the best way
of visiting it is, therefore, to do the
outward journey in an open carriage
and to return by boat or vice versa.
Among its restaurants the best known
are the two following, namely: —

Fahrhans Blankenese, well-known as
hnving been patronised by the reigning
German Emperor, who lunched here.
The restaurant, which affords a lovely
view ot the Elb, is reached, in 6 minutes,
by a flight of stone steps leading up
from the landing-stage.

Above the village, there rises a
chateau - like edifice called , after
the name of the hill on which it
stands,

Sfillberg Hotel - Peatloiiy with first-
class Uestanrant. This is a first-class
concern containing 20 rooms and
erected in 1903 on the spot where,
in the ll^l^ century, the proud Arch-
bishop Adalbert built his castle. The
buildings are elegantly constructed and
fitted; and the cuisine (English and

This three-cornered island, which, from
1814 till 1800, was an English possession,
and was then exchanged for Zansibar,
is well described in the old rhyme:—
*'Green land, with red band & white sand :
those are the colours of Heligoland".

The main part of the island, whose
total area is but little more than Vf sq.

kilometre, is an elevated plain, with
steep cliffs 180 feet in height. At the
south-eastern base, the debris formed
by the winds and waves has produced
an undershore, on and near which the
town has been built. An easy flight of
steps and a lift connect the 'unterland'
with the *oberland'.

The climate of Heligoland is one of
the healthiest hnown. Diminutive in
extent and surrounded by boundless
seas, its breezes possess a purity p^*-
haps not to be found at any otl
watering-place in Europe; while
presence of such a body of salt-wi
renders the temperature, from Septt
her to December, much higher than
any other similar resort.

STLT is, perhaps, the most Qurious
and interesting of all the islands of the
Frisian coast. Though possessing an
area of only 40sq miles, it has, owing to its
peculiar shape, a seaboard of great extent.
Except in the middle, where a broad
and fiat Jutland runs out towards
Schleswig, the breadth of the island
nowhere exceeds 4 kilometres. And yet,
in this narrow strip of land, there
is a most striking variety of scenery;
rugged and heath -clad hills rising to
a height of 80 metres, — valleys con-
taining numerous lakes & tarns, — and,
on the east, rich pasturea & cornfields.

upon the town, an elegant 'Kurhaus' has
been erected; and the straight, well-kept

The commercial importance of Bmden
is likely to experience a considerable
impulse from the Bhine traffic, whioh
has now been diverted through the
mouth of the Ems by the opening of the
Dortmund-Ems Canal (see Dortmund).
The Hamburg- American Company now
runs a line of ore steamers from Sweden

• BREMEN,

the seeond in importanoe of the Haosa
Republics, has a history resembliDg that
of Hamburg. Its independence was
wrang from the Emperor in I6i6 and,
save for a short interruption^ daring
the Napoleonic wars, has been kept
inviolate to the present day.

The state now contains two important
towns, Bremen, the capital, and Bremer-
haven (see. below), the seaport to which
it is indebted for its present prosperity.

BANKS: Dentsehe Bank, 22—36 Doms-
hof, one of the largest in Europe,
branches in all leading towns; Bremer
Bank, Flllale der Dresdner Rank, is
recommended to visitors for exchange

and other bosiness; Dlseonto - Oesell-
sehaft is likewise an admirable bank.

BREMEN, the second port in Ger-
many, contains many handsome build-
ings standing side by side with the
quaint structures of the middle-ages.
The main part ol the town is built
on the right bank of the Weser, the
ancient city being surrounded by a
moat. The old ramparts have been
laid-out as gardens: at their S. corner
is Altmannshohe. from which a good
view of the river is obtained.

Within the precincts of the old city
lie the pnncipal

Edifices, ot which the following are
the most important: —

The Rathaus (Market Place), erected,
in Gothic style, in 1406, with a late-Re-
naissance fa9ade added in the early, part
of the 1 7*^ cent, and Barocco balustrade.
The Gothic fronts are decorated with

figures of ten emperors, seven electors
&c.; while the Renaissance front con-
tains a handsome Oriel window and
gable. In the interior, there is an enorm-
ous chamber, called the Rathaushalle,
It is of great historic interest and con-
tains medallions of German emperors,
hanging ships, stained-glass windows
and several noteworthy paintings.
Beneath the Rathaus is the
Ratskcller, renowned for its rare
old wines and as the scene of Hauft's
'Phantasy*'. It consists of several
chambers adorned with frescoes by
Arthur Fitger after the restoration in
1874. The most celebrated cellar is that
deriving its name from the large rose
with which the ceiling is embellished.
Under this spot the elders of the

city used to hold their most solemn
conclaves, proceedings which took
place sub rosa being kept profoundly
secret The wines in this cellar are
Riidesheimer vintages of the years
1653, 1666, 1727 and 1784. The
price of the flrst is said to have been
300 gold dollars in 1653: at the present
time it is a drink for emperors and
millionaires only, as, at compound
interest, the value of a single glass
is about 1,000,000 dollars.

Adjoining the Rathaus is the Siadi-
haus; while, in front, there rises a
huge figure called the 'Roland*. It U
historically of the highest interest, as
it marks the freedom of the city and
its juridical rights. On the same spot,
there stood, in the 14th cent., a similar

ertction in wood, which, during a fray
in 1366, was burned by the archi-
episcopal party. Fifty years later the
present stone Roland was raised. It
bears a shield with a low -German
(Platt-Deutsch) inscription referring to
the city's freedom. Such Rolands are
found in considerable numbers in North
Germany. Their origin still remains
obscure; but they seem in some way
to be connected with the famous
palladin of the Emp. Charlemagne.

N.W. of the Rathaus rises a statue
of William I. To the S.E. stands the
Bourse, an imposing Gothic edifice,
built in 1861, from designs by Miiller.
The symbolic statues at the main
entrance and on the side facing the
Cathedral are by Kropp. The walls
of the various rooms are embellished
with fine frescoes by Fitger.

To the W. of the bourse is the
'SchUtting^ or Chamber of Commerce,
a building erected in the 16th cent.:
its west gable belongs to the late-
Gothic period, and its east gable to
the early-Renaissance.

Eastwards of the bourse rises the
Cathedral, a Romanesque building
begun in the 11^ cent, on the site of
a former church. Its original architect
commenced it on the lines of Cologne
cathedral: his immediate successors
took that of Benevento as their model;
while the whole underwent consider-
able alteration in the 13 th cent. Aft^r
a severe fire, in the 16th cent, the
north aisle was added. In 1638, the
south tower collapsed; the north tower
was injured by lightning in 1656 and
again, by fire, in 1767; the whole
being restored in 1888.

The interior contains a fine organ
and some excellent 14^h cent, reliefs
&c.: the bronze font is 11th cent
work.

Beneath the building is the celebrated
'Bleikeller' (Lead Cellar), containing
several mummies, one of which is said
to be 400 years old. The preservative
character of the cellar is supposed
to proceed from the fumes of the

lead melted in it for covering the
roof: at any rate the vault still
possesses its preserving qualities as
may be seen from the poultry ftc.
hanging in it.

At the north corner of the Doms-
hof there is a so-called Museum, —
in reality a clubhouse, decorated with
frescoes by Fitger.

Near the Osterthor (East Gate),
there is an

Art Gallery, containing, among its
treasures, a collection of drawings
by Diirer.

At the end of Obern St is
Ansgariikirche, and near this the
offices of the North German Lloyd,
the Johanneskirche , SL Stevens-
kirche &c.

There are, in this city, a con-
siderable number of bridges, the moat
alone being crossed by six. Those
spanning the river lead to the Neu-
stadt, where, in Kaiser St, stands Uie
Industrial Museum,

Among its monuments, perhaps the
most beautiful is that to the Emp.
Frederick IL

firemen possesses a large free har-
bour necessitated by the accession
of the town to the Custom's Union
in 1888. The place has few monu-
ments. The most important are: — a
bronze statue of Gustavus Adolphus,
designed by Fogelberg, the Swede.
Near Heerdenthor, in the Promenades,
there is a Marble Vase: and at Ans-
gariithor stands a monument to the
Bremen soldiers who fell in 1870*

A favourite resort is the beautiful
Burger Park in the N.E. of the town :
here concerts take place on various
evenings of the week.

The accommodation for vessels in
Bremen is unsuitable for modern traffic;
consequently, on the advice of the
burgomaster Smidt, a piece of land
was bought from Hannover, in 1827,
for the foundation of a port, called

1t: From HAMBURG, through the

KAISER WILHELM CANAL to KIEL

and LiJBECK.

KAISER WILHELM (North
Sea & Baltic) CANAL.

This canal, the foundation stone of
which was laid at Holtenau by Kaiser
William I. in 1887, is the greatest
triumph of .German engineering. The
designer was Herr Baensch of Berlin,
who completed the work in 1895.
On the 1st of July in that year, amid
deafening huzzahs, the opening of the
canal by the present Kaiser took place.

The cost of the undertaking was
about 39 million dollars, of which
Prussia provided one third. The length
of the canal, from the North Sea to
Holtenau in Kiel Haven, is 61 miles;
its breadth, at the surface, is 195 feet,
at bottom 72 feet; depth 29 feet.
It thus admits the passage of the
largest vessels; while 7 basins, at
various stations, allow the largest
men-of-war to pass one another. The
canal is lighted with electricity for
night-traffic; but the visitor travelling,
say, from Hamburg to Kiel, or vice
versa, should go by the day boats.

as the trip affords lovely views of
hill and dale, lake and woodland.
During the passage, which lasts
about 13 hours, the traveller should
not fail to observe the Kaiser Wilhelm
Monument, at the entrance, and the
magnificent bridges at Griinthal,
Rendsburg and Levensau, which
divide the canal into three equal
portions. The first and last are
remarkable for their dimensions, that
at Grunthal having a height of 157 feet,
and that at Levensau a span of
540 feet, being third largest on the
continent. The bridge at Rendsburg
is a double draw-bridge for railway-
traffic.

The commercial and strategic im-
portance of the canal to Germany
is very great. By using it, the
notoriously dangerous Skagerrack,
between Denmark and Norway, is
avoided, and the distance between the
Thames and the various ports of the
Baltic IS reduced by 200—600 knots.

KIEL is a former Hanse to
which, since the opening of
Nord-Ostsee Canal (Kaiser Wilhe
Canal) has been growing by lei
and bounds, its population hav:
more than doubled since 1890.

The port possesses the finest harbour
of the German Baltic, and contains the
principal Imperial Dockyard, with two
floating docks. The private docks,
Howald's (Ship-building & Machinery)
and Germania Dock, in Gaarden, are
also very important. Moreover, the
University, the Castle (residence of
Prince Henry), the Marine Academy
and the Thaulow Museum, with its
almost unique collection of Schleswig-
Holstein carvings (15th — [gth cent.),
render the place well worthy of a visit,
especially as it offers opportunities
for charming excursions both by sea
and by land.

In the summer months, the place
is now very busy, as the Kaiser

The city of Lubeck, the capital

the Wakenitz and the Trave, some
10 miles from the Baltic, its position
rendering it an important commeretal

indeed, at the head of ihe Hanseatic
League, but, at the present day, it
retains only Ihe trade with Hamburg
and the Baltic coast. It is, however,
likely that the place will shortly regain
much of its former importance; aa a

STETTIN, the capital of Pomerania
and the leading i>ort of the Baltic Sea,
is a large town with a vast trade in wood,
corn, petroleum, wine, fish &c. It is also
the seat of extensive industries, such
as sugar, chemicals and machinery,
and is the chief centre of German ship-
building. It possesses some of the largest
dockyards in Oermany, the finest of them
being theVuikanWerf t, where many of the
fast steamers of the Hamburg- American
Line are constructed. The rapid de-
velopment of German shipping and the
effort to make Germany a maritime
country tend to increase the importance
of Stettin from year to year.

Stettin is an important station on
the route to the Baltic & Scandinavia.
Indeed, a favourite summer track for
tourists and pleasure seekers is from
Berlin via Stettin to the Baltic coast
and the Isle of Biigen. — From Stettin,
the well-known and favourite fast

(16 ^-i); the Hcdwifsthnrm contains the
relics of 8t. Bed wig (d. 1248). There are

BRESLAU, with a population of
about 470,000, is the third city in
Germany: it stands on the banks of
the Oder in a fertile plain. Dating
from the time of the Romans, and
containing seveial ancient and inter-
esting buildings, it is a commercial
place of great importance both on
account of its extensive manufactures
and of its wool and grain maricets.

The city was once surrounded by
fortifications, and the old moat still
encircles the inner part of the city.
Adjoining it are the Promenades upon
which stand a number of important
edifices. Beginning at the N.E. corner,
close to the Lessing Bridge, we have
the New Government Buildings and
the ZiegelbasHoH with excellent view
of the busy Oder. To the W. of the
latter is the School of Arts and the
Monument erected to those who fell
in 1870—71* At the S.E. corner of
the Promenades is the Liehichshohe,
a watch-tower erected on the old
Faschenhastion and surmounted by
RaucJts statue of Victory, Beneath
it is a monument to Schleiermacher.
Passing the Z winger we come to the
comer of Schweidnitzer St. Turning
into it, we find St. Dorothea Church
(14th cent.) to the left; the street leads
straight through the middle of the town,
past the Ring, to the Matthiaskirche
and the Oder. If, however, we con-
tinue our walk along the Promenades,
we pass the Stadt Theater and the
Headquarters of the Military, and
come to the Royal Palace, leaving
which on the right, we proceed to the
Imperial Bank and the Stdndehaus
at the corner of Graupen St. Opposite
**■" latter is the new Bourse, a line
hie building of modern date. Close
in Wall St., are the old Synagogue
the Elisabeth Cloisters. This
et leads on to Konigs PI., where
can return, on the other side of
Stadtgraben (moat), to the barracks
I Law Courts. Behind the last is
prison, and, behind this again,
Museum. The latter of these is

a brick building containing, on the
ground-floor, a collection of Silesian
antiquities; while, on the first floor,
are casts, an industrial collection, the
library, and some 30,000 engravings.
On the second floor is a collection
of pictures, mostly modern.

Crossing Eichhaumgarten , we
reach the handsome new Synago-
gue, standing near the end of
Schweidnitzer St A car brings us
to the Ring, a former market-place,
the middle of which is occupied by
the Stadthaus and the Raihaus,
the latter being a 14 th century
edifice which was well restored
in 1888. The FUrstensaal is the
handsomest apartment.

Close by are the Pillory (1492),
a bronze statue of Frederick the Great,
and one of Frederick William III.
On the western side, the Palace of
the old Bohemian kings. Parsing out
of the Ring at the N.W. corner, we
find St. Elisabeth's Church, a very
old building but twice > restored:
the interior is interesting for its
wood -carving, and windows and
portraits of Luther and Melanchlhon
by Kranach.

Not far from the Ring, on the
eastern side, is the Church of Mary
Magdalene.

On the Promenades along the Oder
are the Ma/thias Kirche, University,
Ursulin Cloister and Law Courts,
the last standing close to the Sand
Brucke, which leads across the Oder
to Sandkirche (14th cent.). Close
by the Church is the Dombriiche,
by crossing which, one reaches the
Kreuzkirche, a fine old building
containing the tomb of Henry IV.
of Silesia,

A few paces further stands the
Cathedral, parts of which are as
old as the 12th century; while the
interior contains many interesting
chapels, paintings and statues. Not
far from this building is the Bo-
tanical Garden with an excellent
Museum,

BERLIN.

POPULATION: 2,035,000.

BERLIN, whose independence was
crushed in 1442 by Frederick II. of
the Hohenstaufen dynasty, became,
in 1848, the residence of the Hohen-
zoUerns. At the close ot the 1 6th
cent., its population was only about
12,000; while, during the terrible
times of the Thirty Years' War, it
suffered so severely that the number
of its inhabitants fell to 6,000. But,
with the accession of FrederickWilliam,
surnamed the Great Elector, the town
entered upon an era of prosperity:
its streets, buildings and parks were
vastly improved; and, at the death
of the Elector in 1688, its population
had risen to 20,000. The following
monarch, who became King of Prussia
as Frederick I. in 1701, continued the
work begun by his predecessor and
erected the so-called Friedrichstadt
consisting of 300 buildings.

In his days, too, were added the

Kurfiirsten Bridge, with its cele-
brated statue, the Observatory, the
two Churches, on Gendarmenniarkt,
the Armory, the Academy of Art &c.
It was the influence of his gay couit
which led to the introduction of Cajis
and such like. Furthermore, under \h\^
king, the various townships of Berlin,
Colin, Friedrichswerder, Friedrichstadt
and Dorotheenstadt were united under
one administration, and took the
common name of Berlin.

Frederick the Great did much to
beautify the capital by adding a
number of edifices, mostly designed
by Knobelsdorff, to whom the capital
owes its famous though unsightly
Opera House. Another architect of
the same century (Gontard) added the
Domes on Gendarmenmarkt. It was
Frederick, too, who converted the
Tiergarten, which. till then had been
a game preserve, into a park, and
presented it to the city.

The strong protection of the king

and the consequent sense of security
led to the rapid development of
manufacture and industry, so that
towards the end of the 18^ cent.,
Berlin was the chief centre of the
silk trade in northern Europe, and
gave work to some 2,000 looms.
Moreover, the love of music dis-
played by Frederick the Great and
the , patronage which he extended to
musicians, men of letters, and«artists
drew to the place a large number
of giant intellects: Voltaire resided
almost permanently in the neighbour-
ing town of Potsdam; Leasing and

the, great philosopher Mendelssohn
lived for a large part of their lives
in Berlin; while Bach, Goethe and
Schiller paid frequent visits to the
city. The French Church (1701)
on Gendarmenmaikt, as well as the
French Lyceum, in both of which the
chief linguistic medium is still French,
witnesses to the freedom and the
welcome accorded to foreigners; and,
as may be seen in the names of many
still-existing firms, it was the French
exiles who introduced the various
artistic manufactures- referred-to above.
Thus, it is perhaps chiefly to Frederick

the Great that Berlin owes its rapid
growth and subsequent importance.

When his successor, Frederick
William II., ascended the throne, the
population had risen to nearly 150,000.
This increase necessitated a further
extension of the city; and the Rosen-
thaler & Stralauer districts were added.
From year to year, the place grew
in importance as a commercial, artistic
and literary centre ; and even the inter-
ruption caused in its development by
the Napoleonic wars produced but a
temporary check in its growth. The
FriedrichWilhelm Academy of Medicine,
the School for Veterinary Surgeons and

the Artillery Academy took a leading
place among the scientific institutes
of the country; while in 1810, the Uni-
versity at Frankfort o/O. was transferred
hither. From the fall of Napoleon, in
1815, onwards, the rise in the impor-
tance of Berlin has been very marked,
the development, since it became, in
1871, the metropolis of the German
Empire, being, in the old world, un-
paralleled and the present population
of Greater Berlin now numbering more
than 2Vi millions.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTBSi Berlin
is now one of the leading centres of
education in Europe. Its university en-
joys a world-wide repute and numbers
many Amerieans among its thousands
of students. Oriental languages are
taught in a special Oriental Seminary;
while in Charlottenburg there are the
fine Technische Hochschule & the Hoch-
schnle fiir Husik. On the 27th Oct. 1906

another "Hoohsohnle** was added to these.
On that day was inaugurated the already
famous "Ilandelshoohschule" on the pre-
mises adjoining the exchange. It is
probably destined to draw large numbers
of students from abroad seeking a com-
mercial training of aUniversity character.

Besides these, there are also a vast
number of institutes of a more or less
private character and of every variety.

Fran Klara Hessllag's High School for

that plans have been prepared for
the removal of the various buildings
adjoining the Gate, so as to open-
out the perspective from Pariser
Platzto theTiergarten, a delightful park
presented to the people by Frederick
the Great and bisected by the fine
Charlottenburger Chaussee, through
which electric cars run. Turning,
however, to the right, we approach the

Reichstags Gebdude (House of the
Imperial Diet), an exceedingly beau-
tiful structure in Italian Renaissance
style, the elegance of whose pro-
portions unfortunately loses by want
of height; while the gilded dome
disturbs the general chastity of the
edifice. Nevertheless, the building
is unquestionably the loveliest in
Berlin; and the interior is finely
decorated.

It was commenced from designs

Council, a reading - room, writing-,

vestibules^

In front of the Reichstags Geb&ude
stands the massive . statue of Bis-
marck, designed by Begas and, with
the allegorical figures that surround
it, forming one of the most remark-
able monuments in the metropolis.

The character of the design is
such that an explanation of the
sculptor's purpose may not be out
of place. Around the base of the
structure are arranged a series of
basreliefs in the characteristic manner
of Bdgas, that is they are so model-
led as to almost dppear sketched.

and have a classic outline similar
to what we find in early Greek and
Etruscan art. They represent the
growth of Germany embodied in the
famous 'Deutsche Michel*. The first
shows him as a child in leading-
strings, tottering from a goddess to
his mother, the Earth. In the
second, he is lying on a bearskin:
at a short distance appear Roman
soldiers; while, bending over him
is a beautiful woman endeavouring
to rouse him from his sluggish
sleep. In the next relief, we see
him, a sturdy but somewhat rude
figure, grappling with a number of
youths, who represent the various

states into which Germany, prior to
1871, was torn.

Proceeding to the back of the base,
we observe reliefs representing, re-
spectively: — Michel running before a
triumphal chariot; the goddess Bellona
alighting from her chariot and handing
a palm-branch to the grateful inhabi-
tants; and, between these, Germania
enthroned.

The two reliefs on the pedestal
represent, — the one, Bismarck being
crowned with a laurel wreath, and
the other, the bird of knowledge
surrounded by the birds of prey.

Behind the pedestal is a massive
figure of Michel, moulding the German

sword: in front of the pedestal, we see
him bearing the earth on his shoulders,
in typification of the expansion of the
German possessions in Africa and
Oceanea. On one side of the pedestal
is Germania with her foot upon the
neck of a tigress; on the other side
is Fate reclining upon the Sphinx and
with her book open before her.

Close by and occupying the centi
of Konigs Platz, rises the Column c
Victory. The pedestal is omamentei
with basreliefs illustrating the Franco
Prussian War. Above them there is i
colonnade adorned with mosaics exe
cuted by Salviati from A. vonWerner'i
designs* The column itself is sui

103

rounded with three tiers of gilded
cannon taken from the Danes, Austrians
and French. A figure of Victory sur-
mounts the whole; and from the
summit a fine view is obtained.

On the western side of Konigs Platz
is KrolVs Theatre, now royal property,
and prinoipally devoted to opera : con-
certs are also given in the illuminated
grounds, hi front of the building
there is a colossal statue of Moltke.
A short distance to the.N., rise the
premises of the Generalstab, a fine
red -brick edifice, to which a special
interest attaches, it having been the
residence of Moltke. Close by stands
a clumsy bronze figure of General
Roon, War Minister, in 1870/71. It

is superposed on an equally clumsy
pedestal of granite. In the neighbour-
hood there is a Marine Panorama;
while, following the street called
In den Zelten, we pass a number of
favourite restaurants near the banks of
the Spree, and, in a few minutes reach
Schloss Bellevue, a royal chateau
in a pretty little park, to the south
of which lies the Grosser Stern,
the central point of the Tiergarten.
The Electric Tramway Co. has erected
here four enormous statues typifying
the "Chase". From this spot we take
the Gr. Stern Allee almost to the series
of ornamental ponds which border
the south-western edge of the park,
the largest being the Neuer See, A

we follow the edge of Rousseau

Pond to the statues of Friedrich

Louise (Encke 1880): the latter, though

corresponding in general design to

the former, witnesses to the great

progress of art during the 19^ cent.

design is characterised by great

of artistic beauty.

I the year 1904, another statue

unveiled here by the Kaiser. It re-

presents the Emperor William I. as a
youthful officer, the figure standing
in an attitude of easy attention upon
a pedestal of grey Italian marble, to
which steps lead up as in the case
of the two statues just mentfwned.
The monument is a work of Pro-
fessor Adolf Briitt's.

Close by, in Tiergarten St., is an-
other specimen of the statuary of the
present century. Here, at the insti-
gation of Coramercienrat Leichner, a
beautiful monument was raised in
the year 1903 to Richard Wagner,
The structure consists of a base, sup-
porting a pedestal decorated with Ro-
manesque blind-arcades, the back one
rounded to suit the form of th^ chair
in which the main figure is seated^

103

Wagner's face, turned rather too
high, is seeking some harmony;
the same idea is also expressed
in the nervous movement of the
left hand, and the flrmly closed
right fist. Perhaps more beautiful
than the central figure are those
grouped around the pedestal. In
the front there is a fine represen-
tation of Wolfram von Bschenbach
(said to have been designed by the
present Emperor): at the back is the
Rheintochter and Alberich the Dwarf;
while, on one side is Siegfried lying
dead in the arms of Briinnhilde, and
on the other the recumbent figure
of Tannhauser.

deyond these statues and at the
junction of Tiergarten St. and Bclle-
vue Allee stands the new Rolands^
hrunnen, unveiled by the Emperor
on 25th Aug. 1902. In a direct line
northward from it runs the

Sieges Allee, a fine broad road
recently embellished on either side
by statues of the various monarchs
of Brandenburg from the earliest date
down to 1888, the year in which
the Emp. William I. died«^ These
are a present from the reigning
Kaiser and testify not only to His
Majesty's munificence, but also to
his sense of the artistic. The series
of monuments has been executed

by leading sculptors of the day, and
forms one of the greatest attractions
in the city; although the general
effect is somewhat monotonous.

Each of the statues is mounted
on a marble pedestal approached by
a few steps and standing upon a
mosaic floor. It is shut • in from
behind by a marble bench having
the form of a semicircle and bearing
the busts of two of the most famous

northwards and separated from the

Technische HochschuU, a fine
building, just outside the Tiergarten.
It was designed by Lucee and
Hitzig, and is a large structure
embellished with various busts ar.
statues, and fitted with all the latest
appliances required for technica
instruction and study. Two of th<
statues, namely those of Siemens
and Helmholtz, were unveiled in th<
year 1899 in connection with th
hundredth anniversary.

Close by Bland two important
buildings, viz^, the Kunstschule and
the HochsckuU fiir Musik. The in-
struction 13 in the hands of some of
the leading professors of Germany;
and numerous Annerican and English
students are to be found here.

Some distance further on rises the
Royal Palace, a large pile of build-
ings, commenced in 1695, and en- i
larged by Knobeisdorff in 1741. The
building is interesting, but only the
suite of apartments formerly occu-
pied by King Frederick I. is open
to the public. To the right of the
building is the Orangery, 10 minutes
beyond which stands

The Mausoleum, for which tickets
must be taken at the palace. It

is a Doric structure designed by
Gentz. In the vestibule, there is a
large figure of the Archangel Gabriel,
upon which a curious blue light is
cast by the stained-glass windows.
Within the mausoleum, there lie
interred the remains of Frederick
William III. and of his consort
Queen Louise, as well as of the
Emperor William I. and the Empress
Augusta. The finest sculptures are,
perhaps, the recumbent figures of
the first two, that of Queen Louise
being remarkably fine. It was exe-
cuted by the loving hand of Rauch,
who, originally a gardener, was
taught his art at the expense of the
Queen.

DRESDEN, well-called the Floi

of the North, is picturesquely situi r

on the banks of the Elbe: it is i

capital of the kingdom of Sax r,

116

and has been the residence of the
sovereigns from 1485. The city is
divided into the Neustadt on the N.
side of the river and the Allstadt on
the S. side. In the former is situated
the railway station connected with
the new town by the Eisenbahtt'
brucke, a bridge which has also a
footway. There are also lour foot
and vehicular bridges connecting the
old and new towns, namely:— the
Augustusbriicke, the Queen Carola'
briicke (a line structure affording a
pleasant view), the Alberibrucke and
the Marienbriicke, Commencing a
walk through the town from the Railway
Station, we pass through Kaiser Street

to Kaiser Wilhelm Platz, where
the Japanese Palace and Garden
are situated. The edifice contains
the Royal Library, which consists
of nearly 400,000 vols, and about
3,000 manuscripts , including the
oldest Bohemian Bible and many
other fine productions; moreover^ the
collection of maps, incunabula &c.,
is very extensive. Close by are
Korner^s House, the Kdrner Museum,
the Ministry of Justice and the
War Office, This last stands at
the corner of Neustadter Markt, on
which is erected (1736) the enormous
equestrian statue of Augustus II.
Under this ruler, Dresden became

the most important centre of art in

Northern Germany. Furthermore, in his

reign the Z winger was founded, and

porcelain invented (Bottger 1709).

Crossing Augustus Bridge — built

in the 13 th and 14 th centuries and

completed, as it now stands, in 1727

— we arrive at Schloss Platz and

the Royal Palace, (This bridge is

rtly to be demolished.) In front

he Landtagsgeb&ude there stands

onument, by Baumbach, to King

!rt, the famous royal general

whom Moltke said "He never

idered". This edifice was begun

\ugustus in 1534, and, having

i added-to at various architectural

^ )resents a somewhat motley

appearance. The back of the E. wing
is decorated with sgraffito work by
Walther; while the throne -room is
adorned with frescoes.

On the ground -floor, there is a
valuable collection of coins. On the
same floor is the Grune Gew51be
(Green Vault), containing a splendid
collection of curiosities, carved ivory
and hammered work, the crown jewels
of Saxony &c.

Connected with the Schloss by cover-
ed corridors are the Roman Catholic
Court Church & the Ptinzen Palais,
The former is Catholic, the reigning
dynasty professing the Roman faith.
The Church was built in 1 739 in Barocco
style by Gaetano Chiaveri: its organ

(2,896 pipes), {s the last and largest
built by Silbermann. In the middle of
Theater Platz stands a fine equestrian
statue of King John, by Schilling,
the pedestal of which is adorned with
friezes. On the other side of the
square stands the Court Theatre, a
handsome Renaissance structure, de-
signed by the elder Semper and
carried out by his son.

It occupies the same site as an
earlier theatre, opposite the Roman
Catholic Church. The building is richly
adorned with paintings and has a
bronze quadriga by Schilling above
the portico of the main entrance;
while at the entrance are statues of
Goethe and Schiller. Beneath the

quadriga there is a recess embellished
with frescoes by Kiessling. The re-
maining side of the square is occupied
by the so-called

Zwinger {dungtoTi), built 1711-22.
It was intended, by Augustus II., to
form the court of a castle of grand
design, which want of funds compelled
him to abandon. As the building
stands, it presents characteristics
partly Rococco and partly Barocco.

It contains two museums, with
collections of zoological, anthropolo-
gical and palseontological objects.

On the N. side of the Zwinger rises
the magnificent new Museum designed
by Semper, The porch resembles a
Roman arch: above it, to the right

It also contains numerous and inter-
esting works by Correggio, Titian &c.,
and the famous Madonna and Child
by Murillo. Pre-Raphaelite masters
are somewhat scantily represented;
but the Italian schools contemporary
with Raphael form a very large pro-
portion of the collection. Specimens
of the Milanese , Parmesan and
Venetian schools will be found in
great number; while there are also a
few excellent works by Velasquez,

Murillo, Claude Lorrain, Watteau,
Nicolas Poussin and other Spanish
and French artists. Of the Nether-
lands school examples of all the great
masters will be found on the walls.
Between the Museum and the Theatre
stands a bronze statue of Weber.

stands the Markihalle. A few
steps further is the Home Office;
passing from here through See St.,
we reach the "Old Market'*, in the
middle of which is erected the Mo-
nument to the fallen soldiers of
1870—71. At the S.E. corner stands
the Kreuzkirche, a modern building
jrected after the fire of 1897.
The N.W. corner of the Market is

1741, but extensively remodelled

From the N.E. angle of the Alt-Markt,
we follow Galerie St. and in a few

the Picture Gallery, but is now the
depository of extensive collections
of various kinds. On the first floor
is the historical museum, containing
old weapons, costumes and artistic
objects, and said to be the most
valuable in Germany. Among its
treasures may be mentioned the

it, perhaps, the mos^ popular trips
vlon^ the right bank of the Elbe

with its vine-decked hills, its villas and
chateaus of which the finest is that at
Albreebtabnrg. A short distance beyond
this are Villa Stock hausen and Villa
Ec^berg; while, some 9 miles further,
is Welsser Hirseh, (see below). Still
further lie Losehwiti, and Blasewita
and. about 8 miles from Dresden
Pillnitz (at an elevation of 870 leet).
This last place contains a royal chateau
whose chapel and dining-room are em*
bellished with, fine^ frescoes: in the

127

oeighboxirhood, there are some excellent
points of yiew. the best being that from
Porsberg 0,186 feet), abont 8Vi miles
firom the town.

PillnltSy as well as the other stations
on the Blbe> snoh as Pima, KSnigrsteiny
Sohandsa Ae.y are best reached by the
steamboats of the Saehsiseta-BShmisehe
Dampfsehiffahrts-Gesellsehsfty in con-
nedtion with which we quote the
following: —

'To leave Dresden without having
taken a steamboat trip on the Elbe is
to have left the "Northern Florence"
with but a very imperfect idea of
its attractions. It is, indeed, diffi-
cult to find another town with such
delightful surroundings as Dresden,
whose Elbe Valley, both upstream
and downstream, is filled with ex^
quisite scenery.

'Though the Elbe does not possess
that imposing grandeur for which
the Rhine is celebrated, thts want is
counterbalanced by the soft beauty of
its hills. From the deck of the river-
steamers, the charming landscape may
be enjoyed to the full; while one has
also the comfort and ease which this
means of travelling alone affords.
Doubtless, it is for these reasons that
most of the visitors to Dresden and
Saxon-Switzerland prefer to make use
of the steamers of the Sdchsisch-
Bohmische Dampfschiffahrts- Gesell-
schaft, rather than to be cooped up
in the stifling compartments of a
railway carriage.

'The company referred-to has a
river-fleet of 37 vessels, several of
which are chartered to carry 1,200
persons, the company being the only
one on the upper Elbe which does
a passenger traffic.

'The boats are admirably fitted
and their restaurants well-arranged:
the catering is excellent, and prices
very moderate.

'The favourite boats are the large
Saloon Steamers with Promenade
Deck. These perform the express
service among Dresden, Pirna.SaxoK-
Switzerland, Schandau, Tetschen and
Aussig: they each carry a first-class

restaurant and offer passengers the
very highest comfort'

Of the shorter trips from Dresden
the best are, perhaps, to Pillnitz,
Wehlen and Schandau, or to Meissen,
the pearl of the Elbe.

Of the more distant trips, the
finest are to the so-called Bohemian
Switzerland & the Bohemian MiddU
Mountains, with the excursionist \
centres, Schandau, Tetschen (Boden- '
bach) and Aussig, \

Tne last has railway connection with
the Bohemian health-resorts, such as
Teplitz, Carlsbad and Marienbad,
as well as with the Prague-Vienna
line of rail (sep routes 44, 45 & 46).

The customs revision takes place on
board of the steamers at Schandau,

For the trips to Dresden, Pima,
Schandau, Tetschen and Aussig,
tourist tickets in conjunction with the
railway are to be had.

In the neighbourhood of Dresden is

of his sanatorium, to which, as
system of treatment became fame
some 12 villas were added.

The Sanatorium, which sta
in grounds at the edge of the wo(
is fitted with every modern appljo

128

and joined to the Bath-house by a
closed corridor. Together with all its
annexes it is heated from a central
station and thus rendered suitable
for winter residence.

Not only the sanatorium but also
most of

The Villas are lighted by electricity
and every other convjcnience.

The Air-Huts are close to the
woo^s. As usual they have one
side completely open, with only a
protective curtain of linen.

The Treatment is on the weU-
known natural lines. Medicaments
are employed only in very rare
cases « the physician depending
on the use of light, air, water and

diet. And results show how effective
this method is, especially in the
following

Diseases:— aniemia, heart troubles,
pulmonary complaints; all affections
of the digestive organs, diabetes and,
generally, diseases of the kidneys,
bladder and prostate ; nervous maladies
of all kinds; skin-diseases, internal
and external furuncle.

mg distriots, snoh as the nndalating
parts of Brandenbnrg, seems somewhat
oat of place. The monntainoas district,
however, between Dresden und Bautxen
is exceedingly fine. In general, it may
be explored, in all directions, without
the aesistance of guides Pedestrians,
of coursa see the district to best ad-
vantage; bat parts of the country may
be viewed from the steamers.

It is usual to start the tour from

Potzscha, which is connected by rail

•"ith Dresden. The Blbe is crossed

y the ferry to Wehlen, whence the

'ihlossberg is ascended. In the neigh-

ifhood is the celebrated

3asiei (1,030 ft.), which overlooks

Elbe from a height of 645 ft. It

I precipitous clilT terminating in a

up of wild rock-pinnacles. These

joined to one another by a hand-

some bridge, in keeping with the
bastion -like character of the rock.
The Bastei is unquestionably the finest
point in the whole district, and affords
an extensive and glorious view of the
wooded ravines and broken peaks
of the surrounding country.

Beyond the bridge, the path emerg-
ing from the wood, branches in two
directions: one way leads to the village
of Rathen, with its castle ruins, — the
other io Amselgrund ?in;^ Raihewalde,
At the end of the main road running
throngh this last village, one turns
to the right and, in about Va hour,
reaches Hockstein, a precipitous rock
towering above the road to a
height of 380 ft., that is to say 950 ft.
above sea-level. From Hockstein, one

129

passes throfigh Wolfs Gorge, down
the valley of the Polenz. The principal
point of view on this route is Brand:
here is a little inn, which is worth
stopping-at for the sake of the prospect
•btained of the Basiei, Konigstein,
LiJieustein, Grosse Winterberg Sec,
Below Brand, the valley meets theTiefer
Grund, and, about 2 miles farther on,
at Wendischfdhre, the stream empties
itself into the Elbe. Here, there is
a railway bridge with a footway,
which leads across to the Konigstein
and Bodenbach Roads. Wendischfahre
is almost a suburb of the central

LEIPSIC is the third town in
Germany; it is the largest centre
of the book-trade in the world and
the seat of the supreme law-courts
of the German empire; while its
university is one of the oldest and
most celebrated in Europe. The
town is largely industrial, the chief
products being leather, porcelain «
wood -work &c. The city is very
old, and the streets crooked and
--•rrow; but its buildings, though

mostly of quite recent date, are well
worth seeing.

Two of the railway stations,
namely, the Bairische and the Eilen-
burger Bahnhof, lie to the S. E.
Three others, namely, Thuringer^
Magdebur^er and Dresdner are
close together in the N. E. of the
town; while a sixth, the Berliner
Bahnhof, is right outside the town
in the same direction. On the
promenades facing the Dresdner
Station is an Obelisk commemorating
the building of the railway; to the
W. stands a monument to the Burgo-
master Muller. Hard by is BlUcher PL,
where the handsome new Bourse
is situated. Opposite are the build-
ings of the permanent Industrial
Exhibition, xSiTid a little further on,
the Old Theatre, founded in 1766
and re -built in 1817. Near this is
the monument to Hahnemann, the
lather of homoeopathy. Here is the
entrance to the Rosenthal, a favourite
spot for excursions: in it are a
monument to the composer Zollner,
and a marble statue of Gellert, the
poet. Here, too, are situated the
Zoological Gardens,

Close to Theater PI., at No. 3
Briihl St., Richard Wagner was bom.
From the corner of this thoroughfare,
Hain Street leads direct to the Market
in the centre of the city, where stands
the War Memorial of 1870 with
the Old Rathatis beyond.

from an artistic point of view, very
interesting, and contains a celebrated
old Cathedral, 13th_i5th centuries.
Its spire, at the S.E. corner, belongs
to the 15^ cent., and is a fine piece
of work. The interior of the edifice
is embellished with beautiful and inter-
esting sculptures and bronzes, trie
finest of which is that of Frederick
the Quarrelsome. In the Georgen
Kapelle stands the tomb of George the
Bearded and Barbara his wife. Near
it is a small altar-piece by Kranach

paintings and brasses; while adjoining
the Cathedral is an interesting Cloister,

Close by is Albrechtsburg, a fine
old castle, built 1471—1483 by Arnold

but also for its elegant vaulting, its
frescoes and the charming views which
it affords. In the Triebisch Thai,

WITTENBERG is famous la the
cradle of the reformation. It wme here
that Luther issued his celebrated theses^
and burnt the papal bull: an oak^troE,
in a garden close to the station , is sup-
posed to mark the spot whera the In-
cident took place. In Collegien St. is
situated ttieAugusteummth the Luther
House. It is a part of the old monastery
where the reformer resided until catled
to a professorship at the University. On
the flrst floor is the Luther- HalU, con-
taining several relics and a number of
pictures illustrating the life of Luther.

Not far from here namely, at No. 16

an ancient city lying on the Saale. It

C Besses a c^ebrated university, and
great oommeroial interests in
maf'hkiery, sugar and starch.

In the centre of the city lien the
Markt-Plai I embellished with the Boter
Tara (276 feet high), with a stone
Boland (see Bremen) and a statue of
Hindel, bom here in lti85. On the W.
; tide of the square rises the

Harktkirehe, a four-towered building
ereoted in the middle of the IBth cent.;
it contains several admirable pictures, of
whioh the fineot is one supposed to have
been painted for Oardinal Albreoht, the
founder of the church. The S. E. ajigle
: of the square is occupied by the
f Bathana, parts of which date back to the
14tii century, though the main building is
Benaissanca Close by is the Bats^kellery
a modem structure in late-Gothic style.
Of the remaining public buildings, the
most noteworthy are situated at the edge
of the old city, whose boundaries are
marked on the western side by the moat
(M&taleagraben) and on the other sides by
promenades, which replace the ancient
ramparts. From the Batskeller, a tram-
Wayed street (Leipaigerstrasse) runs
down to a tower at the corner of Nene
Pro^ieaade. Following this promenade,

WEIMAR, the capital of the Grand
Duchy of Saxe- Weimar-Eisenach, and
prettily situated on the II m, has be-
come classic ground. It was for
upwards of 50 years the Home of
Goethe; and Schiller spent the last
6 years of his life in the same city
Its most noteworthy building is the

Schloss, restored under Goethe*s
superintendence and standing at the
head of Sternbriicke. The edifice

contains the room of Duke Bemhard
and the so-called four Poets' Rooms
dedicated, respectively, 'to Goethe,
Schiller, Herder and Wieland.

The Herder Room is at once re-
cognisable by the poet's motto *Ucht,
Liebe. Leben" on the ceiling. Frescoes
by Jager adorn the walls.

In the Goethe Room the frescoes,
which are by Jager and Neher, illus-
trate almost the whole range of t s
great German's works, both in poei y
and prose

The frescoes adorning the Schil r
Room are all from the brush of Nel \
and are likewise numerous.

On the walls of the

Wieland Room, the frescoes are ci
distemper and are by Preller. In fr< it
of the Schloss, and on both sides of e

140

river, lies a charming park with many
spots hallowed by reminiscences of
Goethe: in it, stand a pavihon, called
the Tempelhcrrcnhaus, the Hume, the
Rdmtscius Haus, and several monu-
ments (Prmce Francis of Dessau. Liszt,
Shakespeare). Here may still he seen,
near the Park, Goethe's Gartenhaus,
Not far from the Schloss, at Herder
Ph, rises the Stadtkirche in the very
centre of the town. Built in 1400, it
contains a fine picture by Kranach
the elder, with portraits of Lulher,
Melanchthon and Bugenhagen, The
nave is the restinis-place of Herder, a
bronze statue of the poet having been
erected m front of the church. Behind
the buildmg is the parsonage, which
was Hercier*s residence till his death.

Passmg through Ritter Gasse, we reach
the Hof Theater, built in 1907 by
Heilmann and L'ttmann of Munich on
the site of a former edifice dating
from Goethe's times. It is remarkable
for its noble simph'city of style and
its moJern appliances, its orchestra its
arrangemeiil of stalls, boxes. &c. Before
the theatre stands Rietschel^s Monu-
ment tn Goethe and Schiller, executed
in bronze in 1857. In Wieland St., to

and GenelH are among the principal
representatives. In the Griine Schloss
is the Grand Ducal Library, which,
apart from its 280,000 vols., boasts
a large number of interesting busts
and a valuable collection of coins
and medals. The busts include three
of Goethe, and one each of Schiller
(by Dannecker, cf. Stuttgart), Herder,
Gluck, Tieck, Lessing, Wieland and
Winckelmann. Of special interest, too.
is the museum's geographical collection
comprising 800 maps, of which the most
remarkable are two of America drawn
in the early part of the J 6^ century.

The tower of the building contains a
winding oaken staircase said to have
been constructed by a prisoner in 167 1 .

In a building opposite to it is the
Russian Chapel, and, on the right
bank of the Ilm, is an edifice containing
the "Goethe and Schiller Archives".

The Raihaus, a fine Gothic erection,
stands on the Market Place. It con-
tains Mardersteig's painting called
'^Bemhard entering the conquered town
of Breisach"; a purtrait in oils of the
Emperor William the First; a life-size
"♦atue of Goethe; busts' of the four
Weimar Poets. Opposite, at No. II,
the house which was once the

sidence of the two Kranachs.

The Cemetery contains the FUrsten-

School of Art; the Grand-Ducal School
of Music and Drama; the Donndorf

monuments to Wieland & Carl August.
The statue of Shakespeare, near the
Liszt Museum, represents the poet in
early manhood: he holds a rose in his
hand and appears to be in animated
conversation.

On a hill -slope to the soutk of
the town stands Silberblick, a villa
containing the Nietzsche Archives
and a remarkable bust of the philo-

the arena in which, according to tradi-
tion, Walther von der Vogelweide (cf.
Wiirzburg) and other minstrel poets
strove for the mastery.

But the great interest attaching
to the Wartburg centres in its con-
nection with Luther, The great Re-
former, after bis second appearance
before the Reichstag, left Worm*?
on 26t>h of April 1521. A few days
later, his? little cavalcade was sur-
prised by a number of masked
riders acting under instructions from
the Elector Frederick the Wise of
Saxony. This prince, being a friend
of Luther's, had him placed in the
Wartburg; where he remained hidden,
under the name of "Junker Georg*\
till the first of March 1522. During
this period, he issued from his hiding-
place many a telling pamphlet, and
began, in December, his celebrated
translation of the Bible.

The Luther Room in the Wartburg
is situated in the northern part of
the building called the Vorburg, It
is in almost the same condition as
when Luther left it, and contains the
reformer's table, his armour as *' Junker
Georg", some of his letters, his book-
case and other objects intimately con-
nected with the great translation of
the Bible arid similar literary labours.
One day, while at work, he is said to
have seen the devil making mouths
«t him, and flung his inkpot at the
isitor's head: Satan ducked, and the
ik spurted all over the wall. The origi
al stain having been chipped off "by
inglo-Saxon tourists", a new one was
lade which followed a like fate.

The finest part of the Wartburg,
rom an architectural point of view, is
he Hofburg^ in which the Land-
raves of Thuringia formerly lived. It

contains the Room of the Landgraves,
decorated with 2 modern frescoes illu-
strating historical scenes; the Sdnger-
saal is adorned with portraits of Liszt,
Wagner, Kaulbach &c., introduced into
a fresco representing the tradition re-
ferred*K> above. The Elisabeth Gallery
is adorned with frescoes illustrating the
life of St. Elisabeth, whom **Tann-
hauser" lost through revealing, in his
love-song at the Minstrels' Contest, that
he had visited the .Mount of Venus.
Beyond it, is the Chapel, with old
stained - glass and wall-paintings.

Other interesting rooms are the
Armory in the Dirnitz, the Stables,
and the Tower, From the Kanonen
Battery, to the left of the entrance,
a good view of the whole building
is obtained. The Kemenate now
shown to visitors, is furnished for the
use of the Grand Ducal family. It
contains 18 pictures representing
incidents in the life of Luther.

EISENACH SPA (See also historical
introduction above & notice on page 2).
— The spa which adjoins the town
on the south-eastern side, consists
of a Pavilion, Pump Rooni and other
buildings situated in a delightful un-
dulating park some thousands of acres
in extent and filled with grand, spread-
ing trees, many of them hoar with
age and storied by tradition.

But though the surroundings art
so old, the spa itself is quite modern.
Down to the year 1906 Eisenach de-
pended solely on its salubrious climate
as a health-resort. In that year, how-
ever, the spa was opened, the waters
of the Grossherzogin KarolinenquelU
having been condulted to the new
Pump Room from an estate called
Wilhelmsgliicksbrunn some little dis-
tance from the town.

151

These waters were in repute from
the 14th cent, to the middle of the IQth.
During the 18^^ cent, over a million
pounds of salt were annually ohtum d ;
while quantities of Glauber's Salts
were yielded by the maher-Iye.
Later on, the waters were turned to

medicinal purposes and a primitive
bath-house was erected at Wilhelms-
^lucksbrunn; and the statistics for
the years 1840—1843 show a re-
markably high proportion of cures.
Mismanagement, however, led to
neglect of the place; and the watet^

were even forgotten, until the recent
efforts of the Chief Burgomaster
Schmteder, of Herr von Dreyse. the
Commercial Counsellor, and others
fought them again into notice and
gave them the rare opportunity t ey
iiow have of re-obtaning and in-

creasing that well -deserved fame
which they formerly enjoyed*

Their efficaciousnesa is evident

This favourable composition led
Professor Kionka of Jena to publish,
in the Balneologische Zeitung, an ap-
preciation, in which he states that
the waters will be found efficacious
as baths in treating scrofula, rickets,
glandular swellings, deposits due to
inflammation, chronic suppuration,
female complaints and, especially,
rheumatism. Taken as a medicine,
their wealth of sodium chloride renders
them very useful in cases of acute
and chronic catarrh of the stomach
and intestines, and excess of blood
in the abdommal organs; and they
may be drunk for bronchial catarrh &c.
They are also applicable to enlarge-
ment of the liver and pancreas as
well as for reducing obesity. More-
over, they will unquestionably be of
the greatest service in curing gout ;
for this disease has been shown by
modern research to result from the
liver quite as much as from the kid-
neys, and the waters of the Gross-

ktrzogin KaroUnenquclle posseas the
admirable quaiity of acting favourably
on boih these organs.

IE is clear thai Eisenach, which has
hitherto enjoyed a u c h f a vou r as a
climHtic health-resort, will, frs a spa,
obtain world - wide repdte. During
tlie fifteen years from 1889 to
1905 the annual number of its visi-
tors, exclusive of tourists, rose from
59,705 to 99,548, — high figures
indeed, and due to the delightful
climate of the town, to its interesting
historical associations and to the
charming walks in the immediate
neighbourhood as well as in the sur-
rounding Forest of Thuringia.

Among then^arer trijM, the chief are :—

An interesting excorsion to Annathal,
40 minates from Frauenthor tbioogh the
Marienthal, which may be done at the
same time as the visit to the Wartborg.
At the entrance to the Annathal, a pa^
winding to the left leads to the pictaree-
qae LsadgrsfoBseblnekt (gorge). The
narrowest part of the valley Is termed
the Draehensehlaclity and is marked with
a large "A*'. It is *^50 paces in length ; and
the rooks on either side approacn so close
to one another as to make it impossible
for more than one person to pass at a time.

On the Gdpelskuppe, a hiil near
Kis»>nRoh, rises the Denkmalderdestsehea
liursehensehsft (Monument to the Gher-
niHn Studentrv) in commemoration of
the efforts made by German arndenttt to-
wards imperial union. It is a striking
structare ornamented with nine eagles
and bearing representations of Hermaxm
the Deliverer, Charles the Great, Lather,

A Bisnarek Colawn has been erected

COBURG lies in a lovely district
of Brauconia. It is the capital of Saxe-
Coburg and, alternately with Goth a,
is the residence of the Dukes.

The Markt PL is a fine square, with
a statue of Prince Albert in the middle.
At the S.E. comer is the quaint old Rai-
haus. On the N. side of the square are
the Government Buildings, and a little
to the right of them is the Armory
containing the Ducal Library of
60,0CX) vols. A few paces to the E.
is Schloss PL, where the Ducal Palace,
called the "Ehrenburg", is situated.
It contains an enormous drawing-
room and a valuable picture gallery
with portraits of royal personages.
Close by are the Theatre, the kleines
Palais, the Guard House and the
Coburg'Cohary, In front of the smaller
palace stands a bronze statue of Duke
Ernst I, Behind the Resident Schloss

building. The Gymnasium, near it^
was attended by Goethe's father, when
a boy. The house opposite the school
was once the residence of Jean Paul
Richter. In the neighbouiing Stein'
gasse, there is a Museum containing
antediluvian remains discovered in the
district. Near the Palace is a steep
foot-path by which one climbs to the
Ho/' Garten, Here is the "kleines
Palais*' and the Mausoleum.

On a height 620 feet above the tows
is perched Die OLD FOBTKESS* a late-
Oothio buildii g, interesting as betag Uie
place in which Lnther made his tfacis-
lation of the Psalms and the Prophets.
Origically the residence of the Counts
of Henneherg and the Saxon BaJces,
it acquired a doable celebrity tbrotigh
Luther's passing three months within
its walls. The room occapied by him is
still shown, and contains articles made
from the wood of the Lather Beeok
The finest and most interesting part of
the vast pile is, however, the Ffirsteabair
erected in the l^th cent, on very ttudent
foundations. It comprises The Fire- Arms
Room, with a fine collection; the Eosfi
Koosiy whose ceiling is decorated with
nearly four hundTel exquisitely-narved
rosettes all varying in form; an OratorTt
with interesting relics; the Beforuailoa
Koooiy in which Luther is said to have
composed hin famous Beformation Hymn,
and containing numerous portraits fra;
and the Horn Boom, a remarkably ^ne
specimen of Renaissance work. Th<^
building and its museums are open in
summer 8 a. m.^12 and 2—5 p. m.

This ancient town is rendered inter-
esting by its being the birthplace of
Luther* The house in which he was
bom is No. 16 Luther St.: that in which
he died stands opposite Audreaskirehe,
and contains his death -bed and other
relics. The principal tokens of the
great reformer, however, will be found
in the house of his nativity. Here
are to be seen indulgences, paintings,
translations &c., which recall the great
conflict with Borne. A bronze statue
of Luther, erected in commemoration
of the 400 (It anniversary of his birth,
represents the reformer rending the
papal bulls.

The church of Sts. Peter & Paul calls

^^ many reminiscences of Luther, by its

tssession of the font in which he was

ristened, his leathern cap, a remnant

his cloak &c.

The Andreasklrche contains busts of

OOSIiAB is a ..very old town situated
on the Goae at the N. edge of the Ears.
Said to have been founded in the lOtH
oont, U became important on aooonnt
of the silver -mines in the hills and
especially in the Bammelsbergy at the

foot of which it stands. Its ancient
importance is still to be seen in the
numerous quaint, old houses, the many
towers, and the remnants of the old
ramparts. In approaching the place from
the station, we pass the <^d Paal's Toirer
and the hotel which used to bear its name,
but which is now called AehteraaBa.
This hotel, to which a new wing has
been added, stands in the loveliest
quarter of the town, and is surrounded
with a delightfal and shady park, three
acres in extents Adjacent to the hotel
is the *01d German Beer House*, built
in the **Achtermann**. This renowned
tower of the ancient fortifications was
built in 1806; among its cosy rer^esses,
the 'Bismarck- Ni'«chO* is very celebrated;
while, on the first floor, there is an
elegHut dining-room decorated with
noteworthy frescoes.

Opposite the tower is a fine Ohurch
in Bomanesque style connected with the
monastery ox H eawerk and erected in the
12t]» century. Bahahof St., which passes
between these two buildings, leads past
Jaeobikireiie to the Marlt PI. This

Close by is Fraakemberger Cloiiter. About
S minnteg' walk to the S.K is Claattbor,
and, some distance farther, the Ksiser-
haasy the oldest secular bailding in
Oermany. The original strncture was
erected in 1060 and was the palace of
eleven snecessive. emperors, the last of
whom resided here till 1253. The edifice,
which was severely damaged by fire
in 1280, has been admirably restored.
The place may be viewed from U— 1,
and m>m 2 till dask. The bailding con-
sists of the Saslbaa, with its extension
added later, the private chapel of St«
Vlrleh and the connecting corridor. The
ajpper- floor of the Saalbau is adorned
with frescoes: in the interior of the
chapel is the toml> of flearj III.

Opposite the building are the eques-
trian statues ot Barbsrossa and Kaiser
Wllhelm [. (Walter Schott).

Sastwards of the Kaiserhaus stands
the Domkapelle, which is the vestibule
of the once fionous Cathedral erected
in 1050 by Bmp. Henry 111. The main
building was sold in 18&:0 for 1,100 dollars
and pufled down. The 'Kapelle* has been
restored; and its portal, with richly
sculptured capital, witnesses to the former
grandeur of the Duilding. The interior
contains a number of interesting relics
of the Cathedral, among them, the
Krodo Altar of gilded bronze, the screen
presented to fienr^ III. by Herzfeld
Cloister, and a stained-glass window.

In the S.E. of the town, some 10 mi-
nutes* walk from the Domkapelle, are
the Kurpark and the Zwiager: this
latter is a broad tower in the old town
wall: from it a good view is obtained.
Passing along by the ramparts we come
to St. AsBeahaaSy-a home for women
founded in 1494. It possesses a chapel
with painted timber ceiling &c. Con-
tinuing in the same direction, a walk of
about 10 minutes brings us to the old
BTeitenthOT, one of the best-preserved
gates in the town. Still keeping to the
promenades, we reach Georgenbergy in
the neighbourhood of the station, where
the rums of an ancient cloister have
been unearthed: the outline of the
church, with its nave, aisles and five
towers, is to be clearly seen.

HA&ZBUSG, to the N. of the Broekes,
and at the entrance te the Bada«tkal»
is a favourite summer-resort. It enjoys
a fine situation and possesses a Kvrhavs
which forms the gathering-point of the
numerous visitors. The bath, Jallvskall,
was formed in 1850. Its waters contain
chlorates and sulphates of .sodium, po-
tassium, magnesium &o^ with tnMtea of
iron. The principal complaints treated are
gout, rheumatism, scrofula, and catarrh
of the bronchial tubes, stomach &c.

There is also a spring, recentljjr dis-
covered, which yields hot water of similar
composition to the above, and which is
used as a medicine for catarrh, piles,
constipation, gout, obesity &c.

The environs of Harzburg are very
picturesque and interesting. A pleasant
excursion is up the valley of the Badau,
whose noisy babblings have given to it ita
name (Bow). But the favourite trip is
to Burgbergy to which there is a choioe
of two paths, — one starting from Jnlius-
hsll and the other from the 'Eichea' :
there are also two carriage-roads. The
mountain (1,656 feet) is crowned with
ruins, some of which, the Krodohalley
are said to be the remnants of an old
heathen temple. Another was once the
residence of the Bmperors (1181—1289):
it was founded by Henry IV. and has been
twice rebuilt. The spot affords a fine
view, and is also interesting for its gran-
ite stone in memory of Uhlaady and fnr
the Canossa monument upon which »
engraved Bismarck's memorable wo i
uttered in the Beichstag in May 1871
"Nach Canossa gehen wir nicht".

The tradition may perhaps have arisen
from the *Broeken Spectre*, a well-known,

overlooked by Sekloss IDieabarff. This
oas^tle was, in the lOt^cent., the resi*ienoe
of the Bmp^'rors: but Benry II« presented
it to Bishop Araalf : in 1672^ the building

Sas^'ed into the hands or the counts ot
tolb'-rg-Wernigerode, by whom it was
reconveited into a residence. From the
park, there is a fine prospect of the
Ilseasteia and the valley. Close bv is
thti old Benedlotlne Abbeys restored iu
original style. The Ilseasteia, an enor-
mouB granite block, an hoar's ifralk to
the S W. of the Caxtle. is surmounted by
an iron cross which causes the magnetic
needle to swing round to the S. The
stone is situated on the eastern side of
the beautiful and romantic valley of
the Use. Along the valley itself, from the
lisenburg promenades, the Chaussee runs
beside the river banks to the Use Falls.
Half' way to the falls, a path to the left
leads to the Ilsensteia & Plessenbarg.
whence a path westwards (not S.), rejoins
the main roai from the Ilse Falls. This
road follows the banks of the river
southwards, and then branches to the
rig^ht, a finger-post (of. Schierne, above)
pointing the way to the Brocken. This
route in perhaps the prettiest of all
that lead to the mountain peak.

Blankenburg is charming^
on the slopes of the Northern Hars. It
possesses a Sanatorium and a fine old
Bathans, with five canon balls mortared
into the walls in commemoration of
Wallenstein*s bombardment. Beyond the
Bathaus, on a commanding spot above
the town 1.10< ft.) stands the Castle, con-
taining mementoes of Maria Theresia.
In the Tiergarten are the ducal pre-^erves

a number of villas have op. Thia colony
iDO^udBft the river Bode- The stream
runs through a wild and maguidoeub
valley, and divides, in its course, the
Kingdom of Prussia from the Duchy of
Brunswick. The valley is by far the
finest in the whole of the Hars: from
among the woods which clothe its steep
and rugged sides, crop up, at every bend
and turn, fantastic crags with which
some weird and ancient legend has been
linked. Thale is also an important
bath with springs, rich in iodides, bro-
mides and chlorides.

EXCUBSIONS: From Hubartnsbad up-
stream, to Bosstrappe* The route lies
along the Bode as far as the first bridge
above Hubertus Island. Tourists follow-
ing the right bank must cross this bridge
at Waldkater, and take the path through
the preserves and across Bfilow Hdhe.
Another route by which this height may
be reached is across the bridge near
the Bleehhfltle and up the hills, bearing
then to the left. From Billow H5he, the
road winds along the hills south-west-
wards to Bosstrappe. This consists of
precipitous rocks rising to a height of
some 1,960 ft It derives its name from
an enormous horseshoe, the hoof print
of a legendary steed.

Prom the Uosstrappe, following our
way a few steps backwards, we come
to the Sehorre, a sig-sag path on the
left leading down again to the stream,
at a spot which forms the entrance to
the Bodekessel. This is a rugged de-
pression in the vale of the Bode, built
up of great granite blocks. Returning
down Stream from the Sehurre, a walk
of some 7 minutes brings us to Konigs-
rnhr, where we oross the stream by the
Jungfera Bridge and follow a shady
path through the HIrseh grand to La

Looking down the valley, we perceive
Qaedlinbnrg and the quaint town of
Halberstadt, while, with the help of a
telescope placed at the disposal of gaests,
the towers of Kagdebnrg cathedral come
into view. Taken all in all, Hexentans-
platB is one of the most delightful places
to stop at in the whole of the Hars;
while, apart from its own beauties, it is
an admirable centre for some fine

EXCUBSIONS, of which the favourite
is along the beautiful road past Dan-

<|1JEDJLINBVR« (POP.: 24.000. ->
HOTELS: Bar; Buntes Lamm) is situated
some three miles to the N.B. of the
Ham Mts. It was founded by Henxj I.,
who, according to tradition, received
the imperial crown at Finkenherd on
the road to Sohloss PL: at the time,
he was setting birdsnares, >- hence his
surname ^he Fowler'*

In the town, at Sehloss PL, is the
house in which Klopstoek was born.
(Memorial tablet).

The Bathaus, in the Markt PL, is quaint
and curious (14*1^ cent.). In front of it
stands a figure of Bolandf indicating that
the place was a free town, it having
been a member of the Hanseatic League.
Its walls, with thair towers and moat,
still witness to its andent importance.

In the girls' school^ there is a Muml-
eipal Hnsenm containing collections of
weapons, arms, and records, including a
codex of the 'Saxon Spiegel' with glossary
(15tb cent.^. The dymnaslum contains an
ancient Library with a number of old
MSS., among them another and evan
more celebrated codex of the Saxon
Spiegel 18tb cent.).

Overlooking the town on the western
side are the Sehloss &: the Abbey Chareb.
Castellan in the court-yard (admission
50 pf.). The castle possesses some inter-
esting pictures, among them one of
Aurora of Konlcsmark, the mistress of
Avgnstas the Strong. The Abbey Chareb,
with its two towers, was erected in its
present form by Otto III. During some
restorations, a small chapel wa^ dis-
covered to the E. of the tomb of Henry
the Fowler. In the crypt, which is de-
oorated with rich and fantastic Romane-
sque sculpturing, repose the remains of
the founder and «his consort. In a romb,
reached by a narrow stairway, there
are several cotfins, including the sar-
oophagns of Countess Aarora.

the whole of the lower Hars.

HAIiBERSTADT (POP.: 48,000.—
HOTE LS : eoldenes Boss ; Prlnee Bagens)
lies in a fertile plain on the banks of
the Holtemme^ It is one of the most
central spots for reaching the Hars,
having direct railway oonneotion with
all the principal spots in this beauti-
ful mountain group. The town itself
possesses extensive commereial inter-
ests and some important factories. It
has preserved its medissval character
to a remarkable degree; and its gabled
houses give to it a quaint, old-world
a|>p<»aranoe. In some eases the upper-
most floor juts out to the extent of
between three and four feet. One of
the most interesting examples is to ba
foand in the Sehahhofy a Renaissance
building erected in 1679, and richly
decorated with wood-carving: this house,
as well as Tetzel's (l->20), is situated at
the coiner of the Fisehmarkt. Close by,
in the Holsnarkt, stands the Bathaas
(14tb cent.). It is a Gothic building with
Renaissance additions. To the S.W.
stands an enormous figure of Boland;
while, at th6 S.B. corner of the Markt,
the Batskeller is situated. This fine
timber structure, richly carved, dates
from 1461. Indeed, the architecture in
wood to be seen in Halberstadt is
probably the finest in Burope.

A little to the N. of the Bathaas rises
the Hartlnikirehe (14 tb cent.) with fine
towers : opposite its N. W. comer, a narrow
Hlley leads on to the Dom PU, where the
Cathedral stands. The original building
was burned down in the 12th cent.; and
the present edifice, begun a few years
later, was not completed till the ISt^cent.
Oonsequently, its architecture is some-
what incongruous; but the western
end of the nave is pure OgivaL The
interior is interesting, and possesses
a screen in late-Gothic style. On the
Dom PI., there is a monument comme-
morating the events of 1M70— 71: while,
at the further end, stands the Chorch
of oar Lady, the oldest building in ihm
district. It is a Bomanesqne basilica^,
commenced in the year 10o6, and pos*
sessing four towers.

POTSDAIC, for more' than a century
the residence of the royal family, is be-
autifully situated on the Havel, and has
been, nom earliest times, the seat of
the goTemment of Brandenburg. It has
become interesting through its con-
nection with Frederick the Great, who
erected here a large number of palaces
and other buildings. The most interest-
ing of these are the following, namely :~

Stadtsehloss, where Frederick the
Great lived, and which contains a
number of rooms all left as he used
them. From the western side, a '^Golden
Stair-case** leads to the main boildings.
One of the most interesting rooms is
the Msrble Ssloon, with magniilcent
paintings by Vanloo, antique clocks &o.
Before the Schloss stands a large lime-
tree, where persons waited to present
their petitions to the king.

In the neighboarhood is the JauU
rartea, adorned with bronse busts of
York and BltLoher and several , other
interesting persons, all by Ranch, and a
bronse statue of Frederick William I
near the parade ground on which he
used to drill his grenadiers.

Frledensfcirehe is a church in^earlv-
Ohristian style. It possesses a dock-
tower 180 feet high, and some beauti-
ful Italian sculptures. We enter the
ministers by a Bomanesqae portal in

Ta-ootta and afterwards find our-

I 7es in the Atrium, where several

sculptures are to be seen, such as

I aes of Hoses, Aaron and Bar(BaachX

I . a com of Tbe BIsen Christ by Thor-

dsen. To the right of the building is the

Isnsolensiy a magnificent erection
j different sorts of marble. In the
i lotnre repose the remains of the

peror Frederlek III. and his consort.

1 former Princess ^yal of Bneland.
'e them, there is a magnificent

tomb, with a recumbent figure sculp*
tured by Begas and forming one of his
finest works: in the altar-niche, there
is a Piet4 oy Rietsohel, with a sareo-
phagus of two of Frederick's sons on
either side: the whole is filled up with
flowers and wreaths sent by various
emperors and other personages.

In the Park of Sanssoael there is
the Great Foantstai« the water of which
rises to a height of 190 feet; round the
basin stand 8 marble figures, of which
the Venus (Pigalle) is the most beautilul.
Straight ahead, we ascend a broad flight
of steps 66 ft. high, and broken by six
terraces with fine beds of fiowers, hot-
houses and the graves of Frederick the
Great's dogs. The monarch himself also
wished to be bur;ied here, that he might
be truly *8ans souci*. We now reach the

Palace of Sanssoueiy erected by
Knobelsdorfi. It consists of only one
story; and the rooms where the king
lived and died are still in the same
order as he left them. The most Inter-
eeting apartments are:—

The Boost of Yoltaire» with curious
wood-carving and painted walls designed
by Frederick to represent the character of
the French wit, the peacock typifying his
vanity, the ape his mimicry, the parrot his
garrulity. The Librsr j is, of course, quite
French, and curiously arranged. The Pie-
tare Gallery contains several good paint-
ings by van Dyck, Bembrandt» Ooinelius
von Haarlem, Bubens &io.: the visitor
should take care that it is shown, and
not be put-off with the corridor where
Watteau's pictures are hung.

TheOraageryt in Florentine style with
several good paintings & sculptures and,
on the terrace, the statues of Ceres,
Flora Ac.

The New Pslaecy the summer residence
of William II, is dosed to visitors from
May till towards November. It contains
aoo apartments, the Imperial iamily
residing in the K. wing. The SheU
Saloon IS richly decorated with precious
stones and souvenirs brought back by
William n from his travels. Furthermore,
the palace contains a theatre, a Marble or
Concert Saloon with magnificent painted
ceilings &c. Near the Palace is the Haaao-
leasifWith a marble statue of Queen Louise
and the Temple of Friendship, built by
Ghontard, in memory of the sister of Frede-
rick the Great, Margravine of Bayreuth.

The Ckarek of St. Nlekolss, to the N.

The most important edifice is the
Dtu:al Schloss, on the banks of the

was designed by Kuobelsdorff, the
W. wing dates from the middle of
the 16t^ cent., the remainder of the
building being quite modern.

The castellan's fee is 2 mks. On the
ground floor of the Schloss, there is a col-

CASS EL, situated in a high and
healthy spot, was once the capital of
the Electorate ofHesseH. It is now the
seat of Government in the province of
Hessen-Nassau, and, since its annexation
to Prussia in 1866, has become a large
and important manufacturing centre.
The population, which, within this
period, has nearly trebled, is engaged
principally in the manufacture of loco-
motives, cars and tools. The town is,
however, also devoted to art, and
possesses a considerable number of
interesting collections & fine buildings,

At the end of the street is Friedrich
Wilhelms PI., embellished with a foun-

figures, representing the rivers Fulda,
Werra &c,, are by Bchtermeyer,
Running south-west from here is
Stdnde PL ornamented with a double
avenue of linden- trees. Here are situated
the Stdndehaus and the Hall of Art,
The latter stands at the corner of Wil-
helm St., and contains an exhibition of
modern paintings, Cassel vying with
Diisseldorf for the 3^ place among
the art centres of Germany.

The S.W. corner of Stande PI. is
occupied by the Barracks, Here we
turn to the left and, passing through

Gr. Friedrich St, reach Wilhelms PL,
where the Oberprdsidium stands.
The large building close by is the Wit*
helm's Gymnasium; from Wiihclm's
PI., we take the Obere Konig St., the
principal business street of the town.
A few paces along it on the ri^ht-
hand side is Mess PI., embellished
with a bronze bust of Burgomaster
Schomburg, A little further on, the
street passes Opern PL, where, in
front of the Opera House, stands a
bronze statue of Louis Spohr, who,
for 36 years, conducted the orchestra
here. Leaving Friedrichs PL on the
right, we proceed to Kdnig"s PL,

Returning southward through Mittel-
gasse to Stein weg, we reach the Natural
History Museum, open Mon. and
Thurs. from lO—l, and Thurs. and
Sat. from 3—6. On the ground-floor
and Ist floor are the natural history
cabinets with a herbarium said to be
the oldest in Germany (I6th cent.):
the second story contains the £thno>
logical collections. Adjoining it is the
Military School and next to this
stands the Museum Fridericianum.
This latter was instituted by the Land-
grave Frederick II. in 1769, and con-
tains collections of coins, antediluvian
relics and a few classical sculptures.
Its Library, in which the Grin^ms
laboured for 15 years, possesses
170,000 vols, and 1,600 MSS., among
the latter being many rarities. At the
corner of Friedrichs PI. is the old
Palace of the Electors: while in the
centre of the square, which is very
large and bounded on three sides by
avenues of trees, stands the statue
of the Landgrave Frederick II, made
notorious by his having hired 12,000
soldiers to the English to assist
them in the American war of Inde-
pendence.

At the south-eastern end of the
square is a handsome gate, called the
"AueThor**diTid adorned bySiemering's
bronze reliefs of the "Warrior's Fare-
well and Return'*. It leads on to the
Aue (meadow), a fine promenade with
^rench landscape gardening and beau-
tiful trees. It contains a fine Orange
^ouse and the Marmorbad, a pavilion
mbellished with marble statues by the
rench sculptor Monnoi (Bacchante,
'aun ftc). Close by is Kuuperfs
lonument of a sleeping lion; while,
cross Bellevue, rises BellevueSchloss,

Picture Gallery, a large Renaissance
structure, containing a fine collection of
works by Italian, Flemish and Dutch
masters: — indeed, the Cassel Gallery
possesses the best collection In Ger-
many of pictures by Rembrandt and
Hals. The ground-floor is filled with
casts, miniatures, mosaics, porcelain &c.
The picture . gallery will be found on
the first floor: it consists of about
1,000 paintings, of which the most
noteworthy are; —

ROOM /., van ByclCs Madonna

fewer than 20 Rembrandts, and a
large number of paintings by Rubens,
Jordaens, van Dyck &c.

Recrossing the meadow, with its
Bowling Green and fine view of the
river, we come to Schloss PI., at the
N.E. corner and close to Drath Bridge
where the Palace of Justice stands and
whence a quarter of an hour's walk

WILHELMSHOHS, which may be
reached in one hour on foot through
an avenue of fine lime-trees, was
formerly the summer residence of the
Electors. It has a world-wide cele-
brity on account oT its magnificent
situation and lovely grounds. The
castle itself is luxuriously appointed:
the public are shown over it by the
castellan on week-days, provided the
Imperial family, which spends a part
of the summer here every year, is
not in residence. It is principally
interesting as the place where Napo-
leon III. was retained as prisoner of

war in 1870. To the N.E. of it lie the
hot-houses, in which, during the spring,
a fine show of camelias is to be seen.
Behind it is the Guard 'house and
Grand Hotel Wilhelmshohe {formerly
Schombardt), whence winding paths
lead up to the new waterfall. Another
dim by by the reservoir, brings us to
the temple of Mercury. From here, we
may take one of several paths through
the woods to the Riesenschloss (Ok-
togon), the highest point in the park
and from the platform of which a
splendid view may be enjoyed.
On a high column here, rises a co-

at the Oktogon are the Cascades,
foaming down the side of Carlsbdrg
and terminating in Neptune's Basin.
From this last spot, we proceed
westwards, past the overseer's lodge,
where we take the middle one of three

The principal mineral constituents are

last ingredient renders the waters effer-
vescent and refreshing: the Helenen-

gives it a slightly astringent character;

the modern methods of treating heart-
disease practised by its physicians, that
the spa owes its rapidly growing fame.
The climate, which corresponds in
general to . that of Centra] Germany,
is influenced in a specially agreeable
manner by the proximity of the Taunus,
which causes a refreshing coolness
to make itself felt morning and evening.
The average temperature from May !»*
till. October lfl<i is 16.80 c. = 62,24® F.
In the month af July it rises to 19** C.
= 66.20 F. The average height of
the barometer is 750 mm. The air,
owing to the proximity of the thickly
wooded Taunus range, is fresh and
.pure and rich, in ozone by reason

of the large graduation works (Gra-
dierwerke).

There are 5 drinking springs: the
Kur and Karlsbrunnen (for use under
treatment only) are mildly carbonated
stimulating waters promoting intestinal
circulation and secretion and relieving
congestions of the abdominal organs;
the Germaniabrunnen, Schwalheimer
Brunnen, Ludwigsbrunnen and Lowen-
quelle are not only medicinal but also
excellent table waters.

The springs which are used for
bathing purposes are Nos XII, VII
and XIV. The different kinds of
baths are as follows; —

calcium salts as well as carbonic acid
by the process of "graduation".

Thermal Baths coming from the
open thermal tanks where a portion
of the carbonic acid gas evaporates,
the wat6r being exposed to the air.

Thermal Sprudel (Effervescing)
Baths containmg much carbonic acid
and coming from the covered tanks
where almost the full temperature and
all the carbonic acid of the Sprudel
are preserved.

Sprudel Baths, The water of the
springs is led through conduits from
the upper tube, direct to the bath
without coming into contact with the
outer air, so that it preserves its
full amount of carbonic acid gas.

Stream Baths. By means of a •
special contrivance attached to the
baths, it is possible to arrange for
stream baths with continuous inflow
and outflow of the water. They are of
three kinds, namely, sprudel, thermal-
sprudel, and thermal.

All tiie baths can be strengthened
at will by the addition of the excel-
lent mother-lye which is extracted in
Nauheim during the preparation
the salt.

Owing to this manifold variety
is possible to prescribe baths sui
exactly to the temporary mor
condition, i. e. to tiie individual ne(
of the patient.

The Medico - Mechanic Zander
Establishment fitted with the most
modern apparatus for massage and

The Swiss Dairy (from Appenzell)
providing all kinds of dairy produce.

The diseases for the cure of which
Nauheim is celebrated are: — Dise-
ases of the heart, of the endocarditic
type; the after-result of rheumatism;
gout and all kinds of rheumatism;
diseases of the peripheric and central
nervous system; female complaints;
disorders in the normal state of the
blood, asthenia, chronic catarrh, con-
gestion in thd abdominal organs,
chlorosis, anaemia &c. &c.

The baths of Nauheim produce
peculiarly stimulating effects on the
thinnest ramifications of the nerves
in the epidermis which acting on the
whole nervous system beneficially in-

fluence the whole body. The action
of the heart, the respiration, the pres-
sure of the blood, the whole circulation,
the temperature of the bo'dy and^
consequently, the change of tissue
can be regulated thereby. This
stimulus enables the body to absorb
and secrete diseased matter, excites
it to generate a new healthy tissue,
brings about a better assimilation of
food, and invigorates the whole body
including those parts of it which
have been impaired by disease. The
beat of the heart grows slower and
stronger, the pulse grows fuller,
ana the breathing more regular and
quiet.

Though Nauheim is pre-eminently
a health resort, it is, nevertheless^
an extremely agreeable place to stay
at. A fine orchestra plays thrice
daily; concerts, fire-work displays and
balls take place at frequent intervals;
theatrical and operatic performances
are given in the Kurhaus, which, with

is very extensive and is beautifully
laid-out: it contains a lake that af-
fords opportunity for boating and
fishing. The lawn-tennis courts have
been recently reconstructed in accor-
dance with the latest requirements; the
well-kept golf-links are prettily situ-
ated at the edge of the woods. The
walks and excursions in the neigh-
bourhood are very fine.

Divine service is provided for aH

Three years ago the State recogni-
zed the growing importance of Bad-
Nauheim, and its legislature voted
the sum of 7,500,000 Marks for im-
provements of all kinds. Six new
bath houses are to be erected, four
of which will be in readiness for the
season 1908. Two central admi-
nistrative buildings, a heat and electric
light plant as well as a laundry
were finished and put in operation
in 1907. —

Nauheim possesses the peculiar
advantage of improving the tissues
and relieving the affections caused by
advancing years.

The walks and excursions in the neigh-
bourhood are very fine, the favourite
being to ' the villages of Nieder and
Ober MOrlen, to the rose -gardens of
Steinfurth. to Wisseiheim, Schwalheim,
Dorheim, Friedberg Gastle &o.

Among the many admirable privats
institutes of the spa, the following
deserve special mention r—

Karhans Lindenhof. This establish-
ment is under the care of Sanitatsrat
Dr. Waehenfeldy who, with his able staff,
devotes himself principally to patients
sufi ering from heart-disease, gout, rhea-
matism, scrofula, and female complaints.
Moreover, oonvalescents and persona
run down in health will find here a
comfortable home under careful medical
supervision; while, great attention being
paid to a well-ordered diet, dyspeptics
and others are foond in great number
in the institute.

FRANKFORT is a celebrated old
city which, as one of the leading

members of fhe Hanseatic League,
maintained its independence until
after the war of 1866. It then became
incorporated with Prussia, but retained
its importance as one of the chief
money-markets of the world, its Stock
Exchange being among the principal
bourses in Germany. The city is
also t busy commercial and industrial
centre, with a large trade, in wines,
soaps &c. Its literary and historic
associations will be gathered from
the many monuments and ancient
edifices embellishing the streets and
squares of the city, which is divided
into the Altstadt and the Ncustadt.
The former consists largely of narrow
alleys and courts: many of the build-

ings are gabled, and have the old
projecting floors such as are to be
seen in Chester, Halberstadt and t)ther
old European towns. The Ncustadt
is the centre of the money-market,
and possesses a large number of
fashionable shops, cafes &c.

The Railway Station lies in the
S.W. of the town: proceeding from
it eastwards through Kaiser St., we
reach Rossmarkt, embellished with a
r lumental group of Gutenberg, Fust
s Schoffer (see Mayence). To the N.
c on Goethe PI. stands a handsome
r ument of Germany's greatest poet,
c in bronze, in 1844, from designs
\ >chwanthaler. Beyond the Goethe
I iument rises the tiew Bourse, a
r ;niticent building, filling the whole
I "-e named Borsen PI, It was built

by Bumitz and Sommer in 1879 and
possesses a splendid Renaissance hall,
which may be seen between 12 and ^
o'clock. Returning southwards through
Schiller St, we come to the SchilUf
Monument, occupying a square which
bears the dramatist's name. Close by
is Katharinenkirche (St. Catharine^
Church) and, a little beyond it, at th9
corner of the Zeil, is Liebfrauen St.,
which leads by the Church of Our Lady,
past the Old Bourse, to St, PauV^
Church (where Parliament so oftlfi
held its sittings), and, beyond it, to
the Romer or old Rathaus (1405)-
This last has now been incorporated
in a new triple group of buildings
known under the name of the

Neue Rathaus. In the modifications)
no important part of the old hiftgric

1S8

Romer has suffered change. The new
structures, designed by v. Hoven and
Neher in Gothic style, form a worthy
extension of the old edifice.

Approaching the buildings from
Paul's PI., we have before us the
Fesisaalbau, containing, as is usual
in Germany, the Ratskcller, which in
Frankfort is famous for its RUdes-
heimer wines. The entrance is orna-
mented with suitable carvings. Above
the 'cellar' is the Fesisaal itself, a
magnificent hall in which no expense
has been spared. To the same suite
of rooms belongs the celebrated Wahl-
zimmer der Kurftirsien, where the
Emperors were formerly elected, and

a fine room, called the Kaisersaal,
embellished with portraits of the
Geiman Emperors from Charlemagne
to Francis II.: in the room stands a
marble statue ottheEfttperor Williaml.

Adjoining the Festsaalbau is the
Sudban with two tall towers dubbed
respectively **Long Franz" and "Little
Cohen". The former is decorated with
an early-Renaissance window and a
couple of mosaics. The other tower
bears, as embellishments, four allegoric
figures. A bridge joins the Siidbau to
the Nordbau in which the financial
administration of the city is located.

ture is obtained from Paul's PI. On

On Romerberg, close by, there is
a fountain, and, beyond, the Church
of Si, Nicholas, A little further south-
wards is the so-called Saalhof, built
in 1717 on what is probably the spot
where Charlemagne's palace stood.
Hard by is the Eiserne Sieg, a sus-
pension bridge for foot-passengers,
built by Schmick in 1869. Passing
along the bank of the river eastwards,

we obtain a view of the old bridge con-
structed in 1342: taking the third turn-
ing to the left, we reach the Cathedral,
historically the most interesting edifice
in the city. It was in this building that
the kings and emperors of the old
German Empire were crowned. The
present building was erected, at the
opening of the 13*h cent , on the spot
where had stood the Church of St.
Salvaior, founded by Ludwig the
Pious. It is a cruciform Gothic building
with a handsome spire and three
turrets. The chimes are very fine, the
largest of the ten bells having been
cast from French cannon and requiring

of Borne PI. isRechneigrabenSt.;and in
the first*turrimg to the right (Schiitzen
St,) ia another handsome Synagogue
erected in 1852 in Moorish style.
Schiitzen St. leads down to Schone
Aussichi on the river bank : turning to
the left, we reach the Obtrmainhrucke,
at the head of which stands a marble
bust of Lessing and, behind it, the city
Library. This latter, an edifice built
in 1S20, contains about 200,000
volumes. In the vestibule, there is a
marble statue of Goethe by Marches!
(1838) and a large number of busts.
(Admission Mon. and Fri. 9—1,
Wed. 3—5).

From here, a walk may be taken
along the old ramparts, which have
been laid-out in grounds. The third
turning to the right, Pfingstweid St.,
leads to the Schutzenbruunen Denk"
mat, designed and executed by
Eckhardt in 1887. Beyond it are the
Zoological Gardens, from the tower
of which a fine view is obtained. The
entrance fee to the gardens is 1 mk.,
and 50 pf. extra to the Aquarium.

Continuing along the ramparts, we
come to Friedberger Thor, where there

Striking bemg the statue of Ariadne,
by Dannecker of Stuttgart.

Here we may leave the ramparts by
passing through the Friedberger Thor
and turning to the right along Bleich St.
A walk of a few minutes brings us to
Si. Peter's, in whose old churchyard
there stands a monument to the Franco-
Prussian War. It is a bronze group by
~ hardt. A few paces further is
ited the Senchenbergische Siift,
ided in 1763 and containing a col-
ons of natural history, a library &c.
., Wed. & Fri. free). At the corner
e street, where the Museum stands,
; the Eschenheimer Tower (1408) ;
last remnant of the old ramparts,
whole situation of this tower is very

beautiful. Beyond it, in the ramparts,
is the Borne Denkmal, and, a few paces
further, Mozart PI. At the next corner
is Opern PI., where the magnificent
Opera House, one of the handsomest
buildings of its kind in the whole
country, is situated: it was et^ected,
in 1873—1880, from the designs of
the Berliner architect Lucae. From
this square two electric tramways run
to the Palm Garden (tickets 1 Mk.),
one passing through Bockenheimer
I^andstr. to the front entrance and the
other through Feldbergstr. to the back
entrance.

The grounds are beautifully laid-out
and, in the houses, there are some
fine specimens of palms and other

189

tropical plants. The place is open
the whole day; and concerts are given
every afternoon and evening. To
the S. of the gardens, in Beethoven
St., there is a panorama (tickets
I Mk.).
Other buildings of interest are: —
The house in which Goethe was
born. It stands a little to the S.E.
of Rossmarkt, at 23 Grosser Hirsch-
graben: the building, bought by the
'Freie deutsche HochstifV, has been
restored, as far as ' possible, to the
condition in which it was during
Goethe's youth. At the end of
Hirscbgraben is the Mini, and, close
by, the Bank; while, crossing the
Untere Mainbriicke, and turning to
the right along the river bank,
we reach SiadeVs Art Instiiute,
This last was founded, in the 18th
century, by a citizen of Frankfort,

Job. Fr. St&del. It possesses a good
collection of pictures by old masters
of the Dutch and German schools,
a few specimens of the Italian and
Spanish schools and a large number
of copper-plate engravings.

Through the centre of the city,
from Schiller's monument, runs the
Zeil, the principal business street of
Frankfort: it is a broad road, which,
with its continuation, the Neue Zeil,
ends at the Zoologischer Garten, in
the £. of the city.

in Europe. It lies only about 10 mile:
from Frankfort o/M., and is th<
resort of, thousands of English am
Americans of good family in searcL
of health or pleasure.

The 8pa is beautifully located among
well -wooded mountains, from which
osone*laden breezes waft incessantly
the scent of pines and firs. It pos-
sesses many fine buildings, of
which the most striking is the great
*'Kurhaus". This edifice, open all
the year round, has a splendid theatre
and concert room, together with one
of the best permanent orchestras in
Germany.

The Castle, standing on the highest
(north-western) elevation of the slope,
and partly re-built in 1680, commands
a magnificent view of the Taunus.
There is, of course, an English Church
and also a celebrated Russian Chapel.
Of monuments, those to the emperor
and the empress Frederick and that
to Hdlderlin are worth seeing; so, too,
are the large bronze statue of Wilhelm I.,
and the Landgrafen-Denkmal erected

in 1906 near the Elisabeli) spring.
In the splendid park, extending over
more than 300 acres, stands the
magnificent Kaiser Wilhclm's Bad,
where, besides all other kinds of baths,
the celebrated natural carbonic - add
baths are to be had. The springs are
ten in number, among them ''Elisa-
beth", "Kaiser" and •'Ludwig" (all
aperient), and ''SUhl** and ^'Louisen*'
tonic. One of the springs is similar
in its effects the Carlsbad waters. The
waters have a temperature of about
60^, and -are always clear and spark-
ling. The chief bathing springs are
the ''Soolsprudel" and ^^Landgrafen-
Brunnen"; the latter is also used for
drinking.

The principal mineral ingredients of
the Homburg Springs are: — Chlorides
of Sodium, Potassium, Lithium and
Magnesium; and Iodide, Bromide and

Carbonate of Magnesium, the tonic
springs containing a)so iron. — The
Homburg springs possess excellent
curative effects in cases of Catarrh
of the Stomach, Chronic Constipation,
Piles, Complaints of the Liver, Catarrh
of the Biliary Ducts, Obesity, Diabetes
ftc. Considerable success has also
been obtamed in the treatment of
diseases of the heart, and also of
complaints peculiar to women.

The **Kaiser WUhelm Bath" is a
new building, containing an mhala-
I room and fitted with all modern
an^ements for every description of
rapeutic bathing. Besides this, there
in the middle of the town, a Bath
jse (Kurhaus-Bad).
For those seeking recreation merely,
re are fine golf-links and tennis-
unds; while the neighbourhood
rs to pedestrians some tempting

excursioi^s. One of the finest is to
the Saalburg on the saddle of the
Taunus, with the remains of an
old Roman Castle and a charming
view. Within the Saalburg is the
^^Imperial Limes Museum** for Roman
antiquities. The foundation stone was
laid on Oct 11th 1900, by the
German Emperor. The Taunus can
now be reached in a few minutes by
using the electric railway, opened
in 1900.

The environs of Homburg are very
beautiful, and offer opportunities for
most delightful picnics. Two of the
most charming spots are Hardtwald
and WildparK the latter filled with
numbers of fallow-deer maintained
at public expense and remarkable for
their tameness.

is a spa on the southern slopes of the
Taunus Range. It is protected from the
bleak winds of the N. and E. by sylvan
heights; so that the climate is mild but
slightly stimulating. The place is well
supplied with means of entertainment,
and the environs of the Mulde Valley,
in which it lies, offer ample opportun-
ities for excursions and picnics.

BAD KRONTHAIi (ALTITUDE: 560
fL) is a small but well-known bath in one
of the most oharming parts of the Tannns
Banff e. The climate is ezoeptionally
n^d; and its three springs, which have
been known for centuries, are chaly-
beate in oharacter. The waters of the
Kronthal Bronnen are despatched in
great quantities, the annual yield being
over 60,000,000 litres.

They have proved themselves to be a
most admirable remedy for disturbances
of the nutritive system, for nervous
complaints and as a preventive in
epidemics of cholera, typhus &o.

In the immediate neighbourhood is
the celebrated health-resort called

KRONBERG.

tl ''** is supposed to be in-

debted for its vast plantations of the
edible chestnut, which give to the
place such a southern aspect. The
knights are said to have brought the
tree with them on returning from one
of the crusades.

K5NIGST£IN is a hamlet much fre-
quented by tourists and others, on ac-
count of its romantic and picturesque
situation on the Taunus, some 1,200 ft.
above the sea-level. It is supplied with
electric light and consists largely of
pretty villas, including a chateau of the
Duke of Luxembourg. To the west of
the town, and crowning a high and
precipitous cliff, lie the extensive ruins
of the old Castle, formerly the fortress
of KOnigstein. Half an hour's walk to
the north, there is another old ruin
called the CASTLE of FALKBNSTEIN
overlooking the little village of the
same name. The place contains a hand-
some new institute for the reception
of patients suffering from pulmonary
complaints.

From the Castle ruins, a delightful
woedland path leads back to Kron-
berg; while, from Konigstein, a number
of charming excursions may be under-
taken, the hest being to the belvedere,
at Hartenberg (20 minutes); to the
pretty dale named Bill thai (25 min.);
a more distant tour (2 hours) is the
climb to the top of Great Feldberg,
the highest point in the Taunus (2,650
feet) from which the view obtained
in fine weather is extensive and beau-
tiful.

WIESBADEN is admittedly the

queen of Continental spas. It is a

beautiful town lying in a sheltered

valley on the southern slopes of the

Taunus Range. The surrounding hills,

along the spurs of which it creeps

to within an hour's distance of the

Rhine, are densely wooded, and com-

niofely protect the town from the bleak

ds of the N. and E. The climate

consequently so mild that even

edible chestnut, the almond, the

;nolia and similar trees flourish in

open air. The mean temperature,

ummer, is just over 18®C.; while,

/inter, it seldom fails below 3^, the

lest month being January, with a

.n temperature of 2^ C. Indeed,

the number of days during the year
upon which outdoor exercise may be
taken is very large; and, even in
winter, one can commonly sit out of
doors in the open air.

In order to maintain a high
standard of health, Wiesbaden has
been kept a purely residential town
and spa, with no sort of industry
or manufacture and no smoke nor
soot. A high -pressure water-supply
provides pure crystal -clear water in
ample volume throughout the town.
The streets are scrupulously clean and
are continually watered with great care ;
while a thorough system of disinfection
is regularly carried out As a conse-
quence, the mortality — always a very

The town is filled with attractions;
and a view of the place shows, at
a glance, what a large number of
handsome edifices it contains.

As at all great spas, the Pavilion
(Kurhaus) forms the central point of
interest in Wiesbaden. It is a splendid
structure occupying the site of a
famous predecessor erected by the
Duke of Nassau, and, seen across
the Flower Garden with its fountain I

and bordering avenue of grand trees,
forms one of the most beautiftil sights
of the town. The exit at the back of
the building opens on-to the Kurpark,
where the band-stand is situated and
where there is a monument to Gustav
Freytag. Here, too, in the middle of
the lake, the great fountain springs
aloft to a height of about 100 feet.
The front of the building looked across
to Kaiser Friedrichs PI.

To the N. of the Kur grounds are
situated a Branch Post Office and the

The Wiesbaden Springs have been
known from Roman times. They have
a high temperature (69^ 0.) and contain
principally common salt, with a certain
amount of chlorides of calcium, potas-
sium, lithium &0.: the proportion of
protoxide of iron is very small; and
the waters are principally of value as
thermal saline springs. The number of
thermal baths is about 900, the water

for which is supplied by 20 springs;
BO that no fewer than 2,600 persons can
bathe daily. The complaints treated
are chiefly rheumatism, soat, neuralgia,
paralysis, skin-diseases «e.

The waters are drunk mostly at

LANGENSCHWALBACH is a fam-

forming, in the middle- ages, a centre
whither, during the summer, there
flocked the aristocratic world. The
I7tb cent was its prime period of
flourishment ; and , having declined
during the Napoleonic wars, it has now
regained much of its former popularity.

spas of the district, lies 778 feet
above the Rhine on the north-west
slopes of, the Taunus Mountains and
mainly in a side valley of the Aare.
Through this valley flows the Schwal-
bach, whence the resort has obtained
its name, the prefix "Langen" having
been taken from the straggling form
the village and added for the sake
distinction.

The ancient part of the place stands
the neighbourhood of the protestant

on the slopes above, and the Wein-

respective valleys below.

Through these valleys there flow
streams, which, by erosion, have, in
parts, almost laid bear the slate rock
beneath. In such cases the subterranean
waters with which the rock is saturated
find their way to the surface.

Most of the springs, and especially
the Stahlbrunnen and Weinbrunnen,
are rich in iron of an easily assimilable
character owing to the presence, in
great quantity, of carbonic acid.

I mentioned are exported in bottles, and

they are the only springs having Pump-

Rooms. Both these and the remaining

springs are of great value for bathing

purposes ; while bf at least equal value

with the waters are the famous and
1^, vast peat- beds found in the district

p and remarkable, for the quantity of

^ salts which the mineral springs have

F been depositing in them for ages.

f THE WATERS AS A BETEBAGE. —

From the aforesaid details it becomes

dear that, the chalybeate waters being

easily assimilated, their effeot is to im-
prove the blood, strengthen the nerves,

morease the appetite and assist digestion.
THE WATEBS AS BATHS. — Their
r external effect is to remove scurfy and

I homy matters from the epidermis, as well

P." as to cleanse the ^ores and increase the

^ activity of the skin. Moreover,- the car -

i': bonic-acid gas is of the greatest service

I in strengthening the nerves and regn-

■ lating the activity of the heart; while

the great variety of springs renders it

possible to adapt the baths to diseases

of the most differingohara ter.

PEAT- BATHS. — Here the pressure

of weight, the various and peculiar salts,

and, above all, the olmic acid are very

effective in stimulating the activity of the

skin, soothing the nervous system, aiding

metabolism and resorbing discharges.

INDICATIONS. — The principal ail-
ments treated are:— clorosis, ansBmia,

catarrh of the stomach, dyspepsia, dis-
eases of the kidneys and bladder, malaria,

Basedow's - disease ; nervous debility,

hysteria, paralysis, rheumatism, gout,

and all kinds of female complaints.

TBEATHBNT. — In order to deal ef-
fectively with these illnesses, the various

Bath-houses, Sanatoriums &c. are fitted

up with every conceivable therapeutic

appliance which may aid in the treatment.
Moreover, the well-kept paths in the

lovely vicinity of the spa are carefully

graduated to adapt them to the various

gatients and to assist in the cure of
eart- disease.
BNTEBTAINMENTS. — The place con-
tains a magnificent Pavilion where all
sorts of entertainments are arranged.
Open-air concerts are given at thePamp-
rooms; and there is plenty of opportunity
for lawn -tennis, fishing Ike; while the
character of the environs ia such as to

render picnics and excursions very
enjoyable. In th'e valley of the Weiiii*

This is a charming village and spa
with a permanent population of between
800 and 4(0. It is situated on the southern
slopes of the Taunus Range at an ele-
vation of nearly 1,000 feet: while the
lovely valley in whioh it lies is sur-
rounded by tree-olad hills rising to a
height of 2,000 feet. The climate is very
invigorating and refreshing; and osa is
made of whey as an adjunct to tLie
thermal baths, whose temperature variea
between 2t^ and Q2fi G. The waters rtb
used either at their natural temperature
or artificially watmed. The analysis
made by Fresenina in 1888 gives ihe
following results: — calcium sulpliate
0.018, carbonate of lithium 0.0026, sodium
carbonate 0.002, sodium chloride 0,27
with a large proportion of free carbonic
acid.

The waters of the Setalangea quelle and
Marlen quelle are also used for drinking
purposes.

The above methods of treatment, com-
bined with the bracing character of the
atmosphere, are exceedingly bene^eial
in cases of nervous affections, female
complaints, skin - diseases, gout and
rheumatism, and also for convalescents
and aged persons.

The city of HANOVER, a favourite
resort of Anglo-Saxons, is the capital
of the province of the same name,
the latter having ceased to be a king-
dom in 1866, when it became, by
conquest, a part of Prussia.

It is, for many reasons, a great fa-
vourite among foreigners. Bordered
to the north and east by extensive
woods, to the west by Herrenhausen
Park and to the south by the lovely
grounds of the Maschpark, the town la
one of the healthiest and pleasantest
in Europe. The roads are paved
with asphalt; and many of them are

provided with special wooden tracks
rendering it a perfect Eldorado for
cyclists. Taxation is low and living
cheap. Moreover , fine museums,
libraries, colleges of science, the con-
servatory of music and other edu-
cational institutes of the town make
it a leading place of residence for
young people, particularly as the
German spoken here is almost un-
rivalled for purity.

The Society for Promoting the In-
terests of Foreign Visitors (Verein fur
Fremdenverkehr) gladly furnishes in-
formation and guide gratis.

The Railway Station is situated in
the centre of the town. In front of it
is a bronze statue of Ernst August;
close by stands the Post & Telegraph

Office; while opposite the station, at
No. 5 Ernst August PL, are the offices
of the Society for Promoting the
Interests of Visitors, where verbal or
written information may be obtained
gratis, (open on weekdays 10 — 1 and
3 — 5 o'clock). Bahnhof St. leads into
Georg St., the principal street and
promenade of the town.

At the comer is the favourite CM
Kropcke, designed by Goetze and
larged by Lorenz. From the col
house, with its beautiful garden,
admirable view of the bustling
animated George St. & Theaterp
is obtained.

Overtopping the other edifices
the vicinity, there rises here
fine

214

Court Theatre (Hof-Theater), em-
bellished with statues of Sophocles,
Terence, Goldoni, Moliere, Shakspere,
Calderon, Lessing« Goethe, Schiller,
Mozart, Beethoven and Weber. The
building contains an auditorium, de-
corated with beautiful symbolic fres-
coes and arabesques, and capable of
accommodating 1,650 persons.

In front of this edifice is a monu-
ment to Marschner, the composer
and conductor. The musician is re-
presented leaning upon the conductor's
lectern as though listening to the music
as it issues from the building within
whose walls he so long laboured.
Here, too, are a marble monument
to Siromeyer, the surgeon, and a

bronze statue to the famous techno-
logist Karmarsch, for many years
Director of the Polytechnic Academy.
On the W. side of the Platz is So-
phien St., where the

Kunstlerhaus is situated. It is a
handsome structure in Romanesque
style, erected in 1855 by Geheimpr
Regierungsrat Hase and possessing
a fa9ade ornamented with statues
of Diirer, Leibniz, Peter Vischer and
A. V. Humboldt, alternately represent-
ing art and science. The granite
lions flanking the steps are copies
of the ancient Egyptian work in the
Capitol at Rome. In the Kiinstler-
haus are held the annual exhibitions
of the Kunstverein.

Marien St., to the left, is the

autiful Gartenkirche, a white sand-

"oe building, with an interesting

churchyard containing the remains of
Charlotte Kestner (Werther's Lotte),
and Caroline Herschel, sister of the
celebrated astronomer. There is also
a curious grave to be seen here: the
tombstone bears an inscription for-
bidding the opening of the grave.
Oddly enough, under this very
stone, a seed became lodged which,
sprouting, has burst open the tomb,
and tilted the enormous stone which
sealed it.

Returning across Aej^idien-Tor PI.,
we soon reach Aegidienkirche, a
14th century building with a Renais-
sance tower added in the 18 th cent
After the demolition of the original
edifice, a Gothic structure was erected
having a nave and two aisles, the

216

whole of which was completely re-
modelled by Laves.

Opposite the cliurch stands the
ancient "Justiz Kanzlei" — now a
private residence: it is a Gothic
building with a notable brickwork
gable in the front.

Passing through Markt St., we
reach the Marklkirche, the oldest
church in Hanover, it being mentioned
as early as 1238. The g[ass in the
choir dates from the 14th cent:
the rest of the windows are beau-
tiful, modern work; while the interior,
restored in 1850, is decorated with
paintings by Schaper.

The MarM PI, is embellished with
a monument to Luther and with a

statue of Ernest the Confessor, Duke
of Brunswick & Liineburg, and one
of his wife, Elisabeth.

Close by is the Old Rathaus, com-
menced in 1439, but restored and
enlarged at later periods.

At No. 10 Schmiede St., Leibniz
once lived: the house, which is a
beautiful example of German Renais-
sance architecture, is now occupied
by the Industrial Art Museum,

From the Marktkirche westwards,

"Tempel" fa9ade, added in 1817 by
Laves, produces an imposing effect.
The interior is decorated with ad-
mirable frescoes by Jakobs and plastic
works by Bendel.

Between the principal sentry-box
and the main porch stands the Schloss-
kirche, a remnant of the Minorite
Cloisters. The exterior is uninteresting ;
but the decorations of the interior
are very pretty, and include a not-
able altar-piece by Lucas Kranach
and a fresco of the "Ascent of
Christ" by Oesterley. In the crypt
(1667) repose the remains of numer-
ous monarchs, including King George I.
of England.

Close by are the Leine Water
Works, an imposing building sumpt-

uously decorated, and faced by a
beautiful fountain.

Opposite the Schloss is the Altes
Palais in which were born Queen
Louise *the Good' of Prussia and her
sister. Queen Friederike of Hanover.

At the corner of Friedrich St. is

Close to the Kestner Museum, an
imposing new Rathaus is in course
of erection.

In the grounds, there is a handsome
fountain, surmounti^ by a Siaiue of
Guienberg, now generally admitted
to be the inventor of movable types
(see Mayence and Haarlem).

Close by this fountain, amidst the
beautifully laid-out grounds of the
"Masch Park" rises the Provincial
Museum, a fine structure in Italian
Renaissance style, crowned by a
fine cupola. The entrance to the
Art Collections is on the left side,
and that to the Natural History Col-
lections on the right. The joint
Collections of Brunswick and LQne-
burg (Guelph Museum and Cumber-
land Gallery) have been transferred
to this museum. To the right of
the entrance-hall are the Pre-historic
and Ethnological departments. In the
first two halls the pre -historic dis-
coveries are exhibited. A splendid
marble stair -case leads to the prin-
cipal storey. Halls 25, 26, 27 con-
tain sculptures of old and modern

Bordone, Guido Reni, PfUma Vecchio
&c.). Halls 49—57 contain a fine
^Zoological Collection. — The museum
is open free on weekdays from
10—3, and on Sundays from 11—2
o'clock.

Westwards lies Waterloo PL, with
a column erected, in 1826, to the
Hanoverians who fell at the battle
of Waterloo: the column, which was
designed by Laves, is surmounted
by a copper figure of Victory (Hengst)
and affords a good view of the
town. The Plaiz is one of the
drill -grounds for the military; and,
adjoining the barracks, there stands
the Armoury, containing the flags
of the Hanoverian army. Opposite
is the Polizei'Prdsidium, an imposing
building. Not far distant is a Statue
of Count Alten, the general who
took part in the Peninsular War and
at Waterloo. Hard by, there is a
bust of Leibniz, a work executed
by Hewetson, the Irishman. Here,
too, are the Royal Archives and
Library, and the Oberprdsidium,
Through Archiv St., turn to the left,
and on the right is the Neustddter
Kirche, where the remains of Leibniz,
the philosopher, are interred: it is
a Renaissance structure containing a
16th cent communion cup and other
interesting objects. At the N. end of
the street is the handsome Synagogue,
a Moresque edifice designed by Oppler
and situated in the middle of the old
town with its quaint and crooked
streets. The newer town is hand-
somely built, with broad roads and
fine modem edifices.

Working westwards, we reach

General - Offleo of tbo Hamburg - American Lino: 18 Georg StrooL

Goethe ' PL, where stands a hand-
some

Garrison Church in Romanesque
style. In the north-west of the
town begins Herrenhausen Allee
on the right hand of which rises
the Welfenschloss , an imposing
Romanesque building now used as
a Polytechnic School. In front of
the building is a beautiful prancing
stallion, called the Saxon Horse,
Behind the palace is the Welfen
Garden, which is very prettily laid-
out. To .the left of the avenue
are the pretty grounds known as
Georgen Garden, and, at the end,
is situated

The Schloss in Herrenhausen, once
the residence of the kings of Hanover.
It contains numerous portraits and
other interesting memorials of the
Guelph family.

Southwards of the Schloss lies the
French Garden, in Lewis XIV. style,
with an open-air theatre and numerous
statues and fountains. These last play
on Sun. & Wed. from 4 — 6 p. m. (May
to Aug.), and 3 — 5 p. m. (Sept.): the
finest of them rises to the remark-
able height of 67 "2 metres, an ele-
vation hitherto unattained by any
other fountain.

Not far from the fountain is situated
the statue of the Eleciress Sophia,
which marks the spot where she died.
The French Garden received its present
form in 1666 from designs by Le Notre,
the famous Matire des Jar dins
Royaux under Lewis XIV. Conse-
quently, it is, after the parks of
Versailles and Schonbrunn, the most
remarkable of its kind. The Berg-
garten, opposite the Castle, is a
tastefully laid -out spot of great in-
terest both to connoisseurs and to
the uninitiated. In spring, a certain
part of it, called "Paradise", is re-
markable for its vast and varied
plantations of rhododendron and
azalea. In the orangeries and hot-
houses there are numerous rare and
beautiful plants, including a large

variety of orchids and a fine victoria
regia. But the most famous place
is the palm-house with a wealth of
tropical plants of all kinds. A walk,
bordered by tall old lime-trees, leads
to the Mausoleum, which contains
the beautiful recumbent marble figures
of King Ernest Augustus and his con-
sort Queen Friederika, — master-
pieces by Rauch.

Not only Herrenhausen, but also
the other environs of Hanover, are
exceedingly pretty. The favourite
walk is to the Eilenriede, a forest
(660 ha.) which stretches right up to
the eastern edge of the town and
justly forms the pride of the inhabi-
tants. Near the entrance at the end
of Konig St., is the handsome Krieger-
denkmal (monument to warriors killed
in the Franco - Prussian war of
1870). In front of the pedestal and
flanked on either side by allegorical
lions stands the weeping figure of
Hanovera. It is surmounted by an
imposing statue of *'Germania'* hold-
ing aloft the palm of peace and
accompanied by two genii. Close by
is the "Neue Haus", an elegani
restaurant in pretty grounds. Ten
minutes beyond it is the Zoological
Garden.

Finally, it may be added that
the Hanover cemeteries are of
considerable interest, the Engesoh-
dener, with its magnificent monu'
ments and beautiful flowers, being
especially fine.

EXCURSIONS: (1) To the Tiergartea,

Returning again westwards, through
Stein wegi we come to Burg PI,, on
which the Cathedral rises. It was
built by Benry the Lion towards
the cloae of the 12th century and
is an edifice in Romanesque style.
Unfortunately, the towers, which
were burned down the year after
Its complelion^ have never been fully
restored. The interior is shown by
the sacristan, who lives at No. 5
opposite the western door.

It contains an early* Gothic monu-
ment to the Founder and his eon-
sort: there is also a brass, near
tiie choir^ marking the spot where

the remains of the Bmperar Otio I.
are laid. In the southern aisle, there
is a monument to Duke Louis Rudolf ,
cast in zinc. The decoration of the
nave is from designs by Pr^f^sor
Essenweiu, while the candelabra,
hung in the nave, is copied from
that in Hildesheim Cathedral. The
frescoes in the choir and transept,
the alabaster representation of Biskop
Hermann, the sandstone statue of
Henry the Lion, the wood^ figures
of John the Baptist and St. Blasius
and other carvings are worth seeing.
The crypt, which is very large, con^
tains the family vault of several
branches of the Guelphs: it has
to be lighted, and is shown for a
special fee.

To the N. of the Cathedral is a
bronze figure erected on a pedestal
by Henry the Lion (1166). Eastwards
from it is the old Palace built by Henry
on the spot where the Castle o/Dank-
waderode stood. The present building
having suffered repeatedly from the
ravages of fire, has been recently
restored. The southern side of Burg PL
is occupied by the Police StaUon,
the Law Courts and the New Siadt-
haus, the Old Stadihaus being on the
eastern side of the square. North of
this last building stands the Armory
and beyond it, in Caspari St, the
"Provincial Museum", On the square

wooden structure in late-Gothic (1634).
Beyond it is St, Andrew* s Church,
of which the story goes that it was
built by rich cripples: it is an edifice,
partly Transitional and partly Gothic.
The tower, 300 feet high, was built
in 1740, the original (1.^18) having
been destroyed by lightning. The
gable of the southern aisle is em-
bellished with sculptures representing
the Annunciation, the Adoration of
the Magi, Plight into Egypt and
the Throne of Christ: the steps of
this last are thronged with cripples
in allusion to the above legend.
Returning by the '*Alte Waage" and
passing through Meinhard Hof, we
turn sharply to the right, and, a few
paces further, reach the BrUdern'
kirche, a large Gothic building with
a copper font, some reliefs and an
excellent altar-piece: it has also some
beautiful stained -glass and choir
stalls. Working from here towards
the S. W., we come to Altstadt
Markt, where the Altstadt Ratkaus
stands. . It is an elegant and inter-
esting Gothic building commenced
in 1250, with open arcades whose
9 pillars bear each a statue of a
Saxon prince.

Opposite the Rathaus is St, Martinis
Church, founded in the I2th cent, but
enlarged and remodelled at several
different periods. The fafades con-
tain some excellent carving and fine
porches. In the wall, at one of the
corners, is a tombstone representing
von Rauchhaupt in full armour as
ho fell during an attack upon the
town in 1615. In the interior of
the building is a brass font and
interesting old pulpit embellished
ih marble reliefs. There is also
nonument of Hans JUrgen, the
rover of the spinning-wheel,
'he Altstadt Markt contains also
le fine old private houses, and is
»rned with a pewter fountain erected
1408. Through the Eiermarkt to
S. we reach the Synagogue, in

ByzantO' Moresque style. The old
ramparts, laid -out as gardens and
promenades, contain several modem
buildings and statues, among which
the following may be mentioned:—:
The Monument commemorating the
war of 1870: it is an enormous figure
of Germania, supported by an obelisk.
To the N. of it is a bronze statue
of Lessing, who died at 12 Aegidien-
marJti in 1781. He is buried in the
Cemetery of St, Magnus Church,
which is situated in the S.E. of the
town ; close by is a monument to
Schill who, together with 14 of his
soldiers, was shot and buried on the
spot by order of Napoleon the First

HILDESHEIM is a semi - Catholic
city, which has preserved its mediaeval
character in such perfection as to
have earned the cognomen of Nurem-
berg of the North.

The quaintness of the place is in
keeping with the legend of its origin.
While hunting, Ludwig the Pious, hav- .
ing followed the quarry too eagerly,
got separated from his companions.
Benighted in a lonely spot, he lay
down to sleep and was visited by an
angel falling as snow. This messenger
made him various revelations, and
directed him the way home. On
waking, the king found a rose-bush
where the angel had stood. Here,
therefore, he erected a cathedral
round which the town afterwards
grew up.

Historically, the place is first
mentioned as the seat of a bishop in
814. In the following century, Hildes-
heim displayed remarkable artistic
activity, and became, two centuries
later, one of the chief centres of
Romanesque art

Its principal buildings, which illus-
trate admirably the transition from
Ogival to Renaissance may be visited

from the railway station in the
following order:-"

The Town Hall, a late- Gothic
edifice of the 14th cent, — colonnaded
aAd containing on the first floor a scries
of fine frescoes by Prell: the most strik-
ing are that representing Lewis the Pious
and Irmingard conferring the bishopric
on Gunthar; and that of Hermann (Ar-
minius) handing over the Roman spoil
to the priests at Galgenberg.

Hard by, there are several inter-
esting gabled houses embellished with
beautiful carvings: the finest are the
Templar House, Wedekind's House
(1589) and the Knochenhaner House
(1529), the last being considered the
largest and handsomest timber struc-
ture in Germany.

St, Andrew's Church possesses a
14ih cent, choir and a high modern
tower.

The Cathedral was founded in 872,
the present building exemplifying the
late-Gothic and Romanesque periods.
The interior, decorated in Barocco
style, contains numerous interesting
relics, such as a large candelabra, a
13th cent, font, a remarkable, carved
pillar and some very old MSS. of
music. In the cloisters will be found
the famous rose-tree referred-to above.

The Romer-Museum contains varied
collections.

St, Godehard's Church in the S. of
the city, is a 12th cent. Romanesque
edifice, admirably restored and con-
taining frescoes and relics.

Besides this building, the town con-
tains also a number of Renaissance
(tmotures of considerable interest, the
most important of them being:—
Dempter Honse, at 7 Uarkt, Hoehseits-
hans at 2 Oster St. and the world-
famed BsttenfSngerhsns at 7 Oster St
The last of these is, of coarse, connected
with the famous legend referred -to
above. As to the origin of the story,
various explanations have been given,
the most commonly accepted being that
it is based on the tradition of an epi-
demic of choreomania which is said to
have seized the youth of the town to-
wards the close of the 13ti» cent. In all
probability, however, it is but a warped
remembrance of the "Children's Orusade"
which took place in 1211.

PYRMONT is a spa of great renown
with a permanent population of 3,000,
the number of its guests and patients
being upwards of 20,000 annually.
The h'ttle town is situated, at an
altitude of rather more than 400 ft.,
in the pretty valley of the Emmer.
The hills surrounding it are dad
with thick woods whose luxurious
foliage enlivens the exquisite scenery
with its rich tints. They are reached
by the beautiful avenues that lead
from the town in various directions
and, commencing with a gentle in-
cline, become gradually steeper and
steeper as they approach the summits
of the hills.

These last, rising to a height of

225

over 1,500 feet, effectually protect
the town against bleak or boisterous
winds, but lend it, at the same time,
all the advantages of a mountain
climate. The mean summer temper-
ature does not rise above 16^ C;
while intense cold is rare during
the winter months. The season lasts
from the beginning of May till the
10th of Oct.

The air is bracing and invigorat-
ing: the newly-arrived patient feels,
almost at once, the exhilarating effect
up'on the nervous system; the appe-
tite is stimulated and tone given to all
the functions of the body. Moreover,
to the influence of the atmosphere
is added that of the waters. There
are, in all, eight springs falling under
two heads, namely the ferruginous
and the saline.

FERRUGmOUS SPRINGS : —
The water of the Hauptquelle (Chief
Spring) contains a large proportion of
calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate
and magnesium sulphate: its prin-
cipal chlorides are those of sodium
and lithium; while a large quantity of
iron occurs in the form^^of bicarboniate
of iron-protoxide. The water, which
is effervescent, tastes ferruginous and
slightly acid. The spring yields be-
tween 350 and 400 litres per hour;
and the water is consequently des-
patched in large quantities to various
parts of the world.

The Brodelhrunnen, which yields
between 7,000 and 8,000 litres hourly
and is used only for bathing purposes,
contains also a large percentage of
iron. The quantity of carbonic-acid
gas is so great that, as the water

rises, it throws off thousands of
bubbles, which, bursting on contact
with the atmosphere, produce a
noise audible throughout the length
of the avenue in which the spring
is situated; hence its name of 'fons
bulliens*.

The Helenenquelle differs but
slightly from, the Hauptquelle in com-
position, containing more sulphates
and somewhat less iron. Of all the
chalybeate springs it is the richest
in carbonic acid, and possesses a
most agreeable flavour: it yields
12,000 litres of water an hour having
a temperature of 12.7^ C. and a
specific weight of 1.0038.

Of the lemaining springs the most
deserving of mention are :— the Augen-
brunnen, used in treatment of the eyes,
the Trampelschc Eisensauerlinge;

and the Pyrmonter Sauerling, much
prized as a ^.able beverage.

The waters of the first four springs
mentioned above are led through
underground conduits to the reser-
voirs at Stahlbadehaus, whence they
are distributed to the various baths.

SALINE SPRINGS:— The
Salzbrunnen, opened in 1795 by
Dr, Tratnpel, rises on the left bank
of the Emmer. The water is clear,
slightly sparkling, and salt, but b»a
a very agreeable and refresh
flavour. It tastes best when dr
at the spring, but is despatchec
bottles and flasks to Pyrmont e\
morning at sunrise.

Close by is the Old SoolqUi
whose waters, differing but 1
from the above, are employed o
for bathing purposes.

The New Soolquelle; bored in 1856,
is situated on the right bank of the
stream at the foot of Muhlenberg,
Its waters, likewise used for bathing
only, contain above four per cent of
mineral matter (3*20/o salt), and rank
among the best of their kind.

As a valuable adjunct to the above,
mud-baths are employed according to
the latest scientific methods.

The so-called /mud', which contains
a high percentage of iron, sulphur,
carbonic acid, formic acid, ammonia
&c., is obtained from the fens lying
beyond the pavilion park, and is at
least equal in medicinal value to those
of Franzensbad and Marienbad.

After being dug out, it is laid in
sheds to be weathered. Thence it is
carried to th^ Moorbadehaus, dried
in lofts, and afterwards ground in
a mill. Having been sifted, it is dis-
tributed for use to the various bathing
establishments.

The principal street in Pyrmont is
Brunnen St. Here are situated the
G. Post Office as well as most of the
Hotels and large houses of business.
It is a fine promenade lined on the
one side with lime-trees and on the
other with oaks. Its western end is
occupied by the "Brunnen": while,
looking southwards, we catch a
glimpse of the Muhlenberg Hills.
From the Brunnen, a continuation of
the street, named Bassin St.» leads

past the Helenenquelle and the play-
grounds along the southern side
of the pavilion park. A few paces
to the N. E. of Brunnen PI. is
the New Stadtkirche, a handsome
Gothic building in which, during
the season, English services are
held. Returning through the same
street, across Brunnen PI., we
pass, on our left hand, Altenau
PL, beautifully laid -out and de-
corated with a vase modelled by
Prof, Drake and presented by
him to the town. A few steps
beyond, and on the same side
of the way, is Kaiser PU em-
bellished with Volcke*s monu-
ment to the Franco -Prussian War.
At the end of the street there is a
fountain, whence we can return
through the magnificent avenue
termed the Haupt Allee, whose
mighty lindens, 2CX) years old,
intertwine their branches over-
head like the archings of a church-
aisle. In the avenue is situated the
Theatre which, though its exterior
is somewhat old in appearance, has a
comfortable, modem auditorium.
Close by is the handsome
New Pavilion (Kurhaus). The main
building consists of two stories, the
upper one containing the large ball-
room and concert-room, with elegant
side-apartments. In one of the wings
is the magnificent dining-room; u' "

and kitchen are under the able
management of Mr. F. G&nger, for-
merly manager of Hotel Bristol,

The roofs of both wings are laid-
out as terraces with hanging gardens.
From the western wing, one obtains
a beautiful view across the park
to the Goldfish Pond^ surround-
ed by numerous copper beeches.
Looking southwards, we see the
white walls of the Lugdc Cloisters;
while immediately across the park
rises the

Schloss, surrounded by ramparts
and an unusually broad moat This
building contains a number of pictures
by Fischbein which, together with a
few other objects of interest, may
be inspected by the public. The
ramparts, too, are worth seeing, if
only for the sake of an enormous
lime-tree, whose trunk measures over
16 feet in circumference, while the
foliage droops to the earth all round,
and forms a charming arbour.

vestibule, sculptures of Christ and
the Apostles. Most of the old deco-
rations were destroyed by the Ana-
baptists ; but there are a marble group
by Achtermann, a 14th cent, painting
above the north porch and a relief
over the southern one. Opposite the
Cathedral is the Stadthaus, containing
statues of Hermann (see Osnabriick),
and others. Not far from this building
is the beautiful Ludgerus Brunnen
In the Dom PL stands also the Uni-
versiiy. Behind it is the ancient
Jesuit College where, in the Pauline
Library, are some interesting portraits,
including one of John Leyden, the
Anabaptist. On the Haupt Markt
rises the Rafkaus, a fine edifice with
a handsome Gothic gable. The most
interesting room in the building is
the Friedensaal, where the Peace
of Westphalia was signed in 1648.

Adjacent to the Rathaus is the old
Weigh House: while, on the other
side, stands the Stadikeller, both build-
ings being in Renaissance style, and
the latter containing some Italian and
German pictures of an early period.
At the N. end of Haupt Markt rises
St. Lambert *s Church, in elegant
1 4 th cent. Gothic.

A little to the N.W. of Dom PI.
and just across the river, is the
Church of Our Lady, another fine
Gothic building of the 14 th cent.
The choir possesses some fine stained-
glass; while, beneath the organ-loft,
are two pictures by Ludger torn Ring,
one of the best representatives of
the Miinster school.

St.Aegidius and the Ludgerikirche
are two churches, in the S. of the town,
which are well worth seeing; while
close to the western ramparts stands
the abbey Church of St. Maurice,
In the N. of the city is the Church
of St, Martin, commenced in the
1 2 th cent., and completed at the
close of the 14th. The W. side
of the town is still surrounded by
the moat, which completely shuts in
the Schloss-Garten, At the entrance
to the garden stands the Schloss

OBYNHAUSEN is a favourite bath
founded in 1846. It lies in a beautiful
spot on the Werra, between the Weser
Mountains and the heigbts of Teuto-
burger forest, and, beine surrounded
by fine woods^ enjoys a nealthy and
invigorating climate.

The spa possesses four thermal

and two ordinary springs; but it

is chiefly to the former that the

[ h owes its fame as a health-

1 >rt. The waters, which possess

i atural temperature ranging from

C. to 34*5^ C, contain some

various salts, and are surcharged

i carbonic acid.

The value of this gas in the

itment of nervous debility and

ired complaints is well known.

nother advantage of the Oeyn*

hausen springs is their variety. This
is so great that it enables physicians
to obtain by mixture, baths of any
required strength and to adapt the
treatment to the peculiarities of the
patient^s constitution.

One of the springs, the Borloclh
soole, rises unmixed, and contains
90/q of common salt: the other, the
Schachtsoole , is mingled near the
head of the shaft with fresh water
and thus reduced in strength to 3%
of salt.

By combining these two, any de-
sired proportion of salt may be
obtained in the bath.

The high percentage of common
salt in the Borloch Spring is one
of the great characteristics of Oeyn-
hausen, and the variety of the
springs adapts the spa for the
treatment of diseases of the most
manifold character.

The principal edifices in Oeyn-

besides its theatre and covered

This old place is the chief town
in Westphalia. It is purely industrial,
most of the inhabitants being engaged
in the metal foundries, or in the large
and celebrated breweries. There are,
however, a few buil-dings of interest,
such as the Church of SU Reinold,
which contains some good stained-
glass and a fine late-Gothic font, bronze
lectern &c. Close by is 5/. Mary*s
Church, a IStb cent Romanesque
basilica with an early - Gothic choir
and an interesting old altar-piece.
Other old churches are SL Pcter\
between Westenhellweg and Kamp St.,
and the Roman Catholic Church,
near the Markt PI. The old Rathaus
also stands here: having fallen into
a somewhat ruinous state, it was
tastefully restored in 1899, and now
forms one of the most interesting
sights of the town. At Hoherwall
is the monument to the war of 1870.

In the middle - agea, when Dortmund
was a free and Hanse town, its com-
meroial importance was much greater
than at the present day; bat, since the
reunion of the German states, it has
been rapidlv returning to its old posi-
tion, one of the leading firms being that
of the engineering concern "DortmuQder
Union", whose works deserve inspection.
Donbtless, as the centre of a large mining
district, Dortmund is destined to take
even a higher place among German
manufacmring towns than it at present
holds. Till recently, all its prodacts
had to be despatched by rail, and all
its supplies obtained in like manner. Bat,
in Ang. 1899, a canal, connecting it with
the Ems and the Rhine, was opened
which has already began to work its
baneficial effects, raw material and food
supplies being brought from the North
Sea and from Holland, while the pro-
ducts of the town now leave for all parts
of the world by the same routes.

BARMEN and Elberfeld, though
under separate administration, are
divided by no distinct line of de-
marcation; and the inhabitants,
numbering together, about 325,000,
are engaged in similar pursuits.

Barmen is beautifully laid-out with
gardens, and possesses some fine
streets and buildings. Of the former,
the most important are Alice Si, and
Gcwerheschule St,

The handsomest buildings are: —
the Rathaus, Evangelical Church,
Sladihalle & Armory, the last con-
taining monuments to the Emperors
William and Frederick.

This last edifice was designed by
Hartig for the reception of- the town
library and various historical and
artistic collections. The Municipal
Museum contains biological and
mineralogical collections.

The environs of the town are, perhaps,
even prettier than those of its nei^-
bonr Elberfeld. The sonthem side is,
qn account of its gardens and woods,
especially beautifal: from amonfif the
latter, rises the Toelletharm, a belvedere
from which a good view is obtained.
To the E. of the tower, in the valley
below, flows the Mnrmelbaeh (murmuring
beck), along whose shady bank, the
return jonrney may be made.

ELBERFELD and the neighb.
Barmen form practically one tr —

over 300,000 inhab., stretching for
a distance of over eight miles along
the banks of the Wupper. The
inhabitants are chiefly engaged in
^reaving, calico-printing, lace-making
and kindred manufactures. Indeed,
•s early as the 16th cent., the many-
bridged place was celebrated for its
teaching works. It is now the most
important seat of the textile industry
in Germany , while its chemical
works, cotton-mills and other fac-
tories give employment to some
40,000 hands. The productions of
the cotton spinning and the silk
branches alone have an annual value
of 36,000,000 dollars.

Elberfeld*s most important buildings
are: —

The Rathaus, a magnificent struc-
ture in modem Gothic style, designed
by Reinhardt of Charlottenburg, and
opened by the reigning emperor in
Oct 1900. The Law Courts, con-
taining a large room with a fresco of
"The Last Judgement'* by Bauer; the
Theain; and Holy Trinity Churck,
with stained -glass, are also notable.
There are, moreover, several fine
monuments, such as Prof. Eberlein's
Statue of the Emperor William /.,
the same sculptor's monument to the
Emp. Frederick, a bronxe statue of
Bismarck by Brunow, and a War
Monument by Albermann.

The town is snrroonded by hillt,whieh,

oonseqaently pleasant ezcarsions to be

and iron works. The industry is said
to have been founded in the 1 2th cent,
by the Counts of Berg, who, by intro-
ducing workmen from Damascus, gave
to the Solingen swords a world-wide
celebrity. The cutlery has retained its
renown to the present day, and the
export is very large. There are, in
the town, upwards of forty large
factories, ten of which are engaged in
the manufacture of swords and give
employment to about 1,500 work-
people. About 7,000 are employed
in the scissor and knife industry.

This important manufacturing town
is the centre of the largest coal-mining
district in Germany. The plentiful
supply of coal has called into existence
an extensive iron industry, which is
rapidly increasing. The most cele-

of Krupp, whose gun factory is too
well-known to call for comment

A statue of Alfred Krupp, by
Schaper, was erected in 1889, in
front of the handsome Rathaus. The
Minster is a very old building dating
from the ll^i cent. In the interior,
there are an altar • piece and a 10th

DOSSELDORF is an important
town situated on the right bank
of the Rhine and possessing a con-
siderable number of large industrial
concerns. But it is principally cele-
brated for its School of Art, and
disputes with Cassel the third place
among the art centres of Germany.
The Picture Gallery was founded
by the Elector John William at
the opening of the 18th century;
while the Academy was established
by Charles Theodore in 1767. This
latter association possesses a fine
Renaissance building near the Rhine
Bridge and facing the Hofgarten;

it contains a large number of
school - rooms, studios &c. Among
its treasures are some casts and a
considerable number of paintings,
drawings and copper-plates: the great
Hall is decorated with a fine series
of frescoes by Peter Jansseu, the
president. In Men Lagerhaus, close
by, there is a Historical Museum
with collections of Roman and
Prankish antiquities. The bridge
beyond it, with its two enormous
arches and gigantic lion , is also
worth seeing. Passing southwards,
along the bank of the Rhine, a few
paces bring us to the Church of
St, Albert with a tower partly Ro-
manesque, partly Gothic. The latter
style is also that of the main building,
which was erected towards the close
of the 14th cent., and contains marble
tombs of Dukes William V. and John
William III. of Cleves &c.

A short distance further, across
Burg PI., we reach the Old Rat-
haus, a 16th century building. The
Markt PU is decorated with a
pewter statue of the Elector John
William, cast by Gruppello in 1711.
Through Muhlen St eastwards
rises the

Church of St, Andrew, a building
erected in 1629 and containing an
altar - piece by Deger and some
interesting tombs. Beyond it, at
Friedrich's PI., is situated the

Kunsthalle, containing the per-
manent exhibition and the town col-
lection of paintings of the modern
Diisseldorf School. The most strik-
ing pictures are those by the two
Achenbachs, Cornelius, Camphausen,
Lenbach, Janssen &c. In front of
the building, there is a bronze statue
of Bismarck by Bauer and Rdttger.
Opposite the Kunsthalle are statues
of the Emperor William I. and
Count Molike, Close by is the
Museum of Industrial Art with col-
lections of textile fabrics, laces, em-
broidery, porcelain, wood-carvings &c.:
there are also rooms representing

various countries and epochs, and
collections of Japanese and Hindoo
productions.

Across Allee St stands the Theatre,
and behind it, in Hof Garten, a
monument to the Franco - Prussian
War, which is among the best of
its kind. Southwards from here is
a monument to the celebrated artist
Cornelius: it is a bronze group
by Donndorf with allegorical figures
of poetry, religion &c.

Cornelius is the greatest painter
Diisseldorf has produced; he was born
in 1783 at 15 Kurze St Perhaps
the other most celebrated native of
the town is Heinrich Heine, bom
at 53 Bolker St. in 1799.

lie between Mayence and Cologne:
this part of it is traversed by the
steamers of the "Rhein Dampfschiff-
fahrt Gesellschaft", The trip is most
commonly taken on the return journey
from Switzerland in order to save
time; but those who travel upstream
have, perhaps, a better opportunity
of enjoying the varied and romantic
scenery which comes into view at
every turn in the river. In the
guide, the upstream route has been
foUowedi since so many Americans
arriving at Hamburg travel, lirst to
Berlin and thence via Magdeburg, the
Harz Mts. and Hanover to Cologne.
From here, the steamer may be taken
to Mayence, the journey being broken
at any of the various stopping- places.
The guide will, however, be found

just as useful for those who prefer
to do Switzerland first and the
Rhine afterwards; as, the order of
the towns being merely reversed,
one has only to turn to the end
of the section, "The Rhine", and
then work backwards.

to find his way about Cologne, and,
consequently, we would recommend
the following route as enabling
the sight-seer to do as much as
possible with the smallest expendi-
ture of time.

Starting from the Central Station,
the Cathedral comes first, thence
across Domhof and westwards
through Unter Goldschmidt past
the Moltke Monument, Here, we
turn to the left, and, in a few paces,
reach the porch of the Rathaus;
thence, to the left, through Burger St,
to Alien Markt, where the back
of the Rathaus and the monument
to Jan van Werth may be viewed.
Through Unter Kdsten to Heu-
markt (monument to Frederick
William III.), through Bolzen Gasse

to GUrzeffich. From here, past the
Colosseum to Casino PI. {Bismarck
Monument), If time permit, a visit
should be paid to the Church of
Maria im Capitol, close by. From
Bismarck Monument, along Hohe St,
as far as Wallrafs PI., where
the Wallraf-RichartZ' Museum is
situated. Thence through Rohren
Gasse to the Palace of Justice, and
across Katenhug to Unter^Sachsen-
hausen (Palais Oppenheim, A. Schaaff-
hausen*scher Bankverein, the New
Imperial Bank and the General
Post Office).

In the centre of :he city almost
the only means of ^'xiimunication
is the cab, the streets scarcely per-
mitting the passage of other vehicles;
but the Ring Tramway is very useful

in visiting the splendid buildings of
the *Neustadt*; and those who have
time should make the whole Journey
round the town in this way. Horse-
cars also run to the various suburbs,
and alongside the Rhine to the Zoolo-
gical Gardens and Flora Garden.
One of the cars runs to Nippes and
the City 'VolksgarUn'.

The Cathedral is considered to be
the crown of Gothic architecture:—
its grand proportions, innumerable
turrets, and delicate tracery produce
an effect upon the beholder at
once imposing and overawing. The
building was begun in 1248, on
the spot where its predecessor had
stood. Master Gerard is the man
whose spirit breathes through the
design^ though the actual build-
ing, hindered by disputes between

the Archbishops and the dty,
progressed but slowly under him
and his son John. Continued with
ardour through just two centuriest
the work then began to slacken.
Indeed by the end of the 18 th cent
the ediUce was falling to ruin and
was used by the French as a
bam. But Frederick William . IIL
of Prussia Issued an order for its
restoration, and the work of com-
pletion was carried on apace;
so that, by 1880, the perfected
edifice was solemnly opened in the
presence of the Emperor William L
and the other assembled German
princes.

The building is cruciform, with a
nave and double aisles. Its finest
parts are the main porch (100 feet
high)- and the western fa9ade,

rising, lofty and clear, in lines that
renew themselves to the very top-
most turrets: — the poKh of the
tower, decorated with sculpturing
of the 15 th cent., is also very
beautiful. The choir is surrounded
with seven chapels and is the oldest
part of the building.

The interior is majestic in its
simplicity, the eye almost losing
itself in the endeavour to follow
the lofty pillars that branch away
into the vaulting of the roof above.
But the severity of the stone -work
is modified by the rich colouring
of the stained - glass. The finest
windows are those of the N. aisle
which date back to the beginning
of the 16 th cent. The choir and
treasury, for which tickets must be
obtained (1.60 mk.), are very inter-
esting. In the former will be found

240

some excellent wood -carving of the
15th century, some beautiful old
stained-glass, and a number of statues
and frescoes ; while the treasury
possesses two valuable old reli-
quaries, one of gold and one of
silver, and respectively of Ro-
manesque (1200) and of Renaissance
workmanship: other treasures are
a Romanesque cross, a sword of
justice &c.

The Drei Konigen Kapelle is

slate lies the heart of Maria

tains the so-called Domhild,
finest painting of the old Cole
school and mentioned by ^

tain similar works of art, which should
be examined if time permit.

The statue of Count Moltke on
Laurenz PI. is by Schaper.

The Raihaus is an interesting build-
ing begun in the Mth cent., but with
extensive additions made at later pe-
riods. It contains a beautiful Renais-
sance hall and a fine Hansa Saal with
many ancient portraits and some ex-
cellent black oak, brought to light a
few years since during some resto-
rations. At the back of the building
is a fountain with a statue of Jan
van Werth, the general who played
an important part in the Thirty Year's
War, and whose unrequited love for
a damsel of Cologne is represented in
the reliefs.

The colossal statue of Frederick
William III. of Prussia was erected in

1878: it is surrounded with repre-
sentations of Prussian statesmen,
soldiers etc. such as Hardenberg,
Blizcher, York, Beuth, Gneisenau, the
Humboldts and many others.

The Gurzenich is a 15th cent, build-
ing erected at enormous expense by
the town council to ferve as a ball-
room and for the giving of grand
municipal festivities. The exterior is
unimportant; but the interior contains
some beautiful stained-glass and, pos-
sessing excellent acoustic properties, is
now used principally as a concert-room.

The bronze statue of Bismarck at
Augustiner PI. was erected in 1879
from Schaper's designs.

The Ch. of St, Maria im Capitol is
a cruciform Romanesque basilica, and,
next to the cathedral, the finest ecclesi-
astical building in the city. • It dates
from the early half of the llt^h cent.,

and contains some beautiful stained-

The City Museum, erected some 45
yearssince, at a cost of 17 5, 000 dollars,
is called also the Walraf Richartz Mu-
seum, Herr Walraf having bequeathed
the nucleus of the collections, and
Herr Richartz having provided the
means for the building of the edifice.

From March to October, the place
is open on weekdays from 9-4 o'clock,
Sun. and FesL 9-1 and 3-5; from
Nov. till Febr. on weekdays from 10-3,
Sun. and Fest. 10-1 and 3-4. The
ground-floor contains collections of
antiquities, both Roman and mediaeval.
The stair-case is decorated with fres-
coes by Steinle illustrating the history
of art. and civilisation. The upper
storey contains the picture gallery,
which is divided into the Italian school
(also containing the recently acquired
Murillo), the old Cologne school (very

extensive), the Dutch and Flemish
schools (Rubens, Jan Steen, Jordaens,
Cuyp&c.)and the modern school (most'
ly German artists, e, g, A. v. Werner,
Lenbach, Leasing, Achenbach &c.).
The Palace of Justice, at Apellhof
PI., is a fine modern building with a
handsome front. Close by are the
Armory, the Government Offices and
the Romer Thurm ; while the street
opposite the N. fa9ade of the Law
Courts, and called Katenbug, leads to
LJnter Sachsenhausen, where we turn
to the right, and, in a few paces, reach
the Imperial Bank, a new sand-stone
building in early-Gothic style and op-
posite which is the General Post Of-
fice, a magnificent structure likewise
in early-Gothic and containing statues
of Stephan, the late postmaster-general,
and of Freiherr von Thurn the father
of the German Post. Opposite the

between Alten Markt and the Rhine,
the Tempelhaus, a beautiful Roman-
esque building at 8 Rhein Gasse, St
Andreaskirche, near the Post Office,
the Jesuitenkirche, in Marzellen St.,
StGereon's Church, at the northern end
of Gereon St., with the City Library
hard by, and St.Severin's Church, near
the end of the fine street of the same
name. This street is closed by a beau-
tiful gate-way, a remnant of the me-
diaeval fortifications. From here, passing
through the Karthauserwall, we come
to the Ulrepforte, an old round-tower,
beyond which a portion of the ancient
city wall still stands. Close by is the
Ulredenkmal, a 14 th century relief

commemorating the victory of the
municipal party over the soldiers of
Archbishop Engelbert.

From here, passing along the Ring
to the western part of the town, we
come to the Hahnenthor, the third
of the old gate- ways.

Still further round the Ring is a
monumental fountain to the Emperor
William I., and, seme distance beyond
it, \hQ Museum of Industrial Art, an
edifice containing bronzes, glasses,
book-bindings &c. from the 12th cent
downwards. Near the eastern end of
the Ring is Eigelsteinihor ; while east-
ward of Hahnenthor, mentioned above,
and almost in the very centre of the
city, lies the Neumarkt. Here, at the
corner of Richmod St., is the house
of Richmodis von Aducht, who, being
informed that his wife had awaked from
a trance, replied that he would sooner
believe his horses had climbed to the

several interesting baildings, the most
important of which are:-

The Church of St. Qnlrlavs, one of
the finest examples of the Transitional
style. The e<iifice, which was com-
menced early in the 13t>a cent, consists
of a nav« and two aisles with towers
and transept. The crypt is extensive
and is considerably older than the rest
of the strnctnre.

The Bathaas, in its present form,
was erected at the~ close of the 18th
centnry, and contains some noteworthy
pictures by Janssen.

Finalljr, a collection of Romnn anti-
quities will be found in the Oberthor,
an enormous t4tb century gate -way in

are chalybeate and very efficacious in
the treatment of nervous complaints.

The town was once the capital
of a duchy of the same name, and
still contains the old Ducal Casilc
commonly called the Schwanenhurg,
interesting to Englishmen as being
the palace in which Anne, daughter
of the Duke of Cleves and wife of
Henry VIII., was born. The building
has now been converted into law-
courts and prison. The arcade of the
court*yard contains an old Romaa
altar; while, from the terrace and
the Schwanenthurm (1439), extensive
views of the lower Rhine are obtained.

The Siiftshirche (Cathedral) is a
magnificent brick -building in Gothic
style, erected in the H^h cent, and
containing some interesting tombs
of the Counts and Dukes of Cleves.
The only other building of interest is
the Prinzenhof, built by Maurice of
Orange-Siegcn in 1664. To the W.
of ihe town lies the Tiergarten, a
charming park, southwards of which,
on Cleves Hill (1,000 feet), stands-
a look-out tower affording a lovely
view of the Rhine with the town of
Wesel, Emmerich, Xanten &c.

A(X-LA-GHAPELLE (or German:
Aaahen) lies in a lovely and fertile valley
snrrouDded by wooded heit^hts. In
forcner times and especially in the days
of Ciiari^ma^np, it was one of the lead-
ing' oitjes m Kurope. But its former
impurtaT^ca is eow represented only by
a luw striking buildings, among which
the tin est ia tb^

Minster, standing in the centre of
the cily. The body of the edifice is an
octagon in Byzantine style surmounted
by a cupola. The interior, which is
borno upon eight enormous pillars,
con^nins a fine mosaic and a gilded
candolabra over 13 feet in diameter:
beneath it is the grave of Charlemagne,
mtirked wiih the words Carolo Magno.

In the so-called Hungarian Chapel wMI
be found the treasury, which is very
rich in old pictures, statues, reliefs,
precious stones &c. The choir is tight
and airy, and contains some modem
stained-glass and 16th cent, carving.

The Rathau8 (1353—1370) is an
interesting Gothic building close by the
Minster: the stair-case and the Kaiser-
saal, to which it leads, are very fine, the
latter being decorated with a series of
excellent modern frescoes: the Sessions
Room is worth visiting for its 17 por-
traits of emperors and popes, among
them, one of the present Emperor by
Anton von Werner. The two handsome
towers which flank it were erected
from designs by Prof.Frentzen in 1902
to replace the 13^^ cent, structures
destroyed by fire in 1883.

The Knrhansy bnilt in 1782, contains a
ball-room, concert- room &c^t the back is
the Kursaal in Moresque style: it faces to-
wards the Kurgarten; and in it weekly
concerts take place. The Elisenbrnnnen
is in a Doric hall at Wilbelm*s Pi.

Other buildings of note are the Teeta-
nieal High School, St. Peter's Church,
8t« Albert's Chareta, the Synagogue and
the Saermondt Maseam. The last con-
tains the collection of pictures presented
by the founder, from whom the gallery
takes its name. As is natural, the bulk
of the paintings belong to the Dutch and
Klemish schools, but there are also spe-
cimens of Constable, Kranach & Muriilo.

BONN is a famous university city
beautifully situated on the left bank of
the Rhine, here spanned by a fine bridge
erected in 1898. It contains several inter-
esting buildings^ of which the following
are the most important, namely:—

The MinsUr, a magnificent structure
standing almost in the centre of the
city. The edifice is one of the finest spe*
dmens of late -Romanesque architec-
ture extant, and has, besides its four
turrets, a tower over 300 ft. in height.
The interior contains several interesting
statues, reliefs and mosaics; while the
crypt (1 1th cent) is also worth seeing.
Close by stands the

University, the former Electoral
Palace. As a teaching university it is
one of the most celebrated in Europe,

and, among the many royal personages
educated here, are the reigning Em-
peror, the Prince of Sachsen -Weimar,
the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, and
the present German Crown Prince and
other sons of the Emperor William II.
Its library contains over 250,000 vols,
and a large number of manuscripts.
Behind the university lies the

JELofgarteu, a fine square filled with
a number of grand old trees. At its
further end rises the

Museum of Art (Akademisches
Kunstmuseum), open free on Mon.,
Wed. & Fri., 2—4 p. m. The collec-
tions consist of a large number of
casts illustrating Egyptian, Assyrian
and classical art, together with original

the town, it contains a number of
irks of art, the most striking pic-
es being those by modern German
'nters, such as the Achenbachs &c.
lard by the museum stands

Cohlenzer Thor, giving approach tc
the so-called

Alten Zoll, which affords a flne view
of the Siebengehirge, and contains a
bronze monument to Amdt, the poet of
German liberty: Arndt's house will be
found at 57 Fehr Gasse, between Coh-
lenzer St. and the Rhine, and some dis-
tance to the S. of the Coll. Alberiinun^.

BAD NEUENAHR, though probably
known to the ancients, did not come
into vogue as a modern health-resort
until after 1867. Since that date, its
charming situation in one of the
loveliest lateral valleys of the Rhine,
its excellent thermal spring and the
care which has been bestowed by the
Baths Committee on the arrange-
ments of the place have caused it to
rise rapidly in popularity.

The great attraction of the spa
lies in its wonderful springs, of which
the 'Grosse Sprudel' is thermal. Its
waters, though similar to those of
Carlsbad and other warm spas, are
considerably milder in character and
consequently much easier of assi-
milation.

Their effect upon the system is
cleansing and stimulating, both as
baths and as beverages. The prin-
cipal complaints treated are:— catarrh
of the respiratory organs, tubercu-
losis, pleurisy, catarrh of the digestive
organs and bladder, stone, inflamma-

Besides the waters, all kinds of

Moreover, here is situated the
Spring where the world - famous
APOLLINARIS WATER is bottled.
It is sent down the Rhine to Antwerp,
Rotterdam, London, America, and, in
fact, to all parts of the world.

The Spring was discovered in
1851; and the quantities of bottles
sold, which were: — 8,000,000 in
1880, 18,000,000 in 1890, now
exceed 30,000,000 bottles.

Some short distance further up the

its ancient walls and gates. It is the
principal market ^for Red Ahr Wines,

WALPOBZHHM ties 3 miles beyond
Neuenahr, in the middle of the Ahr
Valley just where it begins to narrow
into a ravine. The place is celebrated
for its excellent wines, the restaurant
of S/. Peter being one of the best

The excursions in the neighbourhood
are very beautiful: one of the most
charming is to the "Bunten Kuh"
where a beetling crag 200 ft. in height
affords a good view. From Walporz-

ruins of Schaffenburg , the valley

and pejhaps the pearl of the whole
valley. Its finest points of view are
Henlei and the bridge across the
river. Above the town are the ruins
of Altenahr Castle, perched upon a high
and rugged crag. The spot affords
a good view; but those obtained .
from Weissen Kreuz and from

Si. Martin's CK erected at the
beginning of the 13th cent., is an
interesting building mainly in Roman-
esque style and containing some
beautiful stained-glass, frescoes, mo-
numents and altar-piece (1463).

RHEINBROHIi (POP. I 2,000) is a
very old place possessing a pretty
Gothic Ch., and situated on the right
bank of the river in one angle of a
three-cornered plain. Across the stream
is seen the little hamlet of BROHL,
at the entrance to the valley of the
same name. To the right of it rises

Sckloss Rheineck, erected in 1832 on
the ruins of an ancient Castle.

Some short distance from Bheinbroh],
and at the apex of the plain, lies Bad

beech-clad hills. The little spa possesses
excellent springs, a bath-honse and a
fine hotel.

ANUERBTACH (POP.: 8,400. — HOT.:
Bhelniseher Hof ) is u qaaint old town
picturesquely situated on the left bank
of the Rhine.

The finest of its buildings is the
Pfarrkirclie, a Bomanesque edifice (12tb
cent.), possessing an interesting choir,
which is somewhat older than the main
body of the bailding. The church has
four fine towers, of which the oldest
18 the Clock Tower*

The Bathans is a 16^1^ century structure
in late - (iothio style and containing
collections of Boman and Frankish
antiquities. At the back of the edifice,
there is a curious structure called the
Judenbad consisting of a cisterti 16 feet
in length and 45 feet deep.

The finest excursion is to LAACHEB
SEE, the largest of the Eifel Lakes.
It has a depth of 175 feet, the waters
having collected in an extinct crater.
On the southwestern bank of the lake
is situated the Abbey of Laaoh. The
Church is a fine Bomanesque building
dating back to the 12ti> cent.

From Andemach a line of rail runs

to Gerhardstein Castle founded in 1115
and dismantled durine: the French wars,

overshadows the little town.

The town possesses six springs, some
of them of long standing, such as the
Sidinger Brunnen, known to the Bomans
and for years the attraction of thou-
sands of pilgrims.

In the neighbourhood, there are dO'

The name *'COBLENZ" is merely
the German corruption of the Roman
word Confluentes, the town having
been given this name by the Romans
on account of its situation at the spot
where the Moselle mingles its waters
with those of the Rhine. Coblence is
the capital of the Rhine Province, and
boasts a situation that is perhaps un-
rivalled by any other of the larger towns
of the Rhine: the tongue of land upon
which it lies, with its impoi
palaces and elegant private buiidi'
is flat and triangular, ending ii
sharp apex upon which the
statue of the Emp. William I, is- j
from every point of view; while
whole is shut in by the grand hei'
of the surrounding mountains.

The most important building if

Schloss, facing the Rhine between
Holzthor and the railway bridge. It
IS a long structure, erected from de-
signs by Ixnard and Peyre, between
the years 1778 and 1785, and restored
in 1842. The royal apartments are
open to the public (tickets 25 pf.):
they are situated on the first floor,
and . contain some fine Gobelins
and modern pictures. In the Kur-
furstensaal (Hall of the Electors) hang
portraits of the Electors from loll
down to Clemens Wenceslaus, for
whom the palace was built. It was here
that William I., with the help of his
generals, developed those plans for the
reorganisation of the Prussian army
which indirectly affected, in so great
a degree, the fortunes of Germany.

At the southern end of the square in
which the castle stands are the Royal
Sfables, now converted into Ariitlery
Barracks. Beyond them is Mainzer
Thor, with the beautiful Barbara
Fountain close by; while, at the N.W.
corner of the square (Clemens Pl.)i
are the Posl Office and the Stadt
Theater, the latter containing the
municipal Picture Gallery, which
consists of some 200 paintings by
minor Dutch artists &c.

Passing through Post St., north-
wards, we reach Goben PI., taking its
name from the statue of General von
Goben with which it is embellished.

At the extreme N.E. of the town rises
the celebrated Castorkirche, before the
western front of which stands Castor

"Vu et approuve".

The church itself is a 12th cent.

basilica with four towers and a beau-

t ful choir facing towards the quay.

The original building was founded

in 836, and dedicated to St. Castor:

present edifice contains two Gothic

3S of Archbishops of Treves and

e good modern frescoes ; while

vaulting of the Gothic nave is

worth attention.

le church is rich in historical
:iations. It was founded by
ivig the Pious, whose sons, a few
'« later (842), met in the building

to discuss the division of thejr father's
kingdom and negotiate the terms of
the Peace of Verdun whereby the
boundaries of Germany, France and
Lorraine were determined. Moreover,
it was here that Conrad III. was elected
Emperor in 1438, the opening year
of Germany's Augustan period.

The spot was accordingly well
chosen for the erection of the colossal
monument of William the Great, to
whom modern Germany is indebted for
having extended and defined her bound-
aries. The statue stands right at the
tip of the sharp tongue of land, called,
"Deutsches Ecli*, where the Moselle
meets the Rhine. In order to enlarge the
base, an embankment was constructed,
and walls, 1160 feet in length, were

built: from these rises a long flight
of steps surrounded, at the top, by a
fine colonnade. In the centre, there is
an enormous pedestal with the words
^Wilkclm dem Grossen*' carved in
large characters above a gigantic relief
of the imperial eagle. The whole of the
substructure and interstructure was
designed by Bruno Schmitz and con-
sists of granite and basalt. The eques-
trian statue of the Emperor himself is
of beaten copper, and rises to a height
of 46 feet: it is accompanied by a fine
genius bearing the imperial crown,
its designer being Emil Hundriser.
The entire structure forms perhaps
the grandest of purely personal monu-
ments in the whole world.

Another noteworthy building is the
Kaufhaus at the further end of Mosel St
from Deutschen Eck. It was converted
into a Rathaus in 1479 and, having
been restored in 1668, now serves
as a school (Real Gymnasium). Close
by are the Schoffenhaus, containing
collections of Roman and Prankish
antiquities, and the Florcncckirche,
a IZ^"^ cent, edifice with a Gothic choir.
Beyond the Kaufhaus is the old
-'ictoral Castft built in 1276 and
ring addition^ made principally in
16th century among which the

wer-steps call for especial attention.
Stands at the head of Moselle

ridge, erected in 1344 and leading

:ro8s to the timber-docks and Liitzel-

loblenz.
A few paces southwards from

lorencekhrche stands the Liehfrauen-

kirche, built in the 16th cent: its nave
is Romanesque, its choir Gothic.

South of the oastle, PCsffeBdorfer
Brfieke spans the Rhine in three large
arches. Along the banks of the i iver from
this spot to Rorehhrlmer BrSoke, there
is a pretty promenade, whioh waslaid-ont
by order of the late Empress Aagosta,
whose statue embellishes the spot.

Across the Rhine and oonneoted with
Coblence by a bridge of boats, lies

THAIi-EHRENBBEITSTEIM
(POP.: 6,600). Its great point ot interest
is the celebrated Fortress of Bbrembreit-
steitty built, in 1826, on tbe spot where an
elder one had stood that dated back
to a very early period. Tickets of ad-
mission (50 pi) must be purchased in the
town, visitors being then accompanied
by a noncommissioned officer: the view
obtained from the fortress includes the
valley of the Rhine from Andernach to
Stolzenfels; while the nearer heights of
tbe Eitel Range are also visible. To
the N. of the fortress is Nellenkopfy
the finest point of view in the
more immediate neighbourhood of the
town. Southwards of Bhrenbreitstein
is Forst Astersteia with, olose by, an
obelisk which aflforda a prospect quite
eqaal to that from Ehrenbreitstein. (No
permission required).

EMS is one of the most renowned
spas of Germany. It is situated on
the Lahn and its antiquity is attested
by the fact that the Romans built, on
the spot, two castles and at least one
bath, the remains of which have been
found, within recent years, on the left
bank of the stream close to the springs.
The first mention of the town as a
health-resort occurs in documents of
the 12tii cent.; while, in a manuscript
of 1355, a reference is made to "Das
warme Bad bei Eymetz*'. The growth
of the place, until it passed into the
possession of Prussia, in 1866, was
very gradual; but since then, the

development has been very rapid.
Doubtless, the annual visit paid to the
spa by the Emperor William I., Irom
1867 to 1887, did much to foster the
rise of the town into its present leading
place among the health-resorts of Ger-
many. The celebrity of the spa, indeed,
received a great impulse from the rcH-
contre which occurred, in its prome-
nade, between the King of Prussia and
Benedetti, the French ambassador.

But these circumstances were in no
wise necessary to raise the rank of Ems
I spa. Its magnificent position,
ne of the most beautiful valleys
yermany, within a short distance
le Rhine and the Moselle, renders
most agreeable place to stay at.
sover, its situation, at a height of
ft* above the sea-level and amid
itains clad from foot to summit
* *' jbtful woods or with vine-

yards and orchards, lends it a mild
but not enervating climate. Refreshing
breezes of a light character blow
across from the hills and forests even
in the warmest summer weather.

Ems stretches for a distance of nearly
two miles along the river Lahn: the
greater part of it is situated on the
right bank, and creeps round the foot
of Baderberg Hill and up the side
valleys. It has a permanent pop. of
about 6,800: the number of visitors
annually is 26,000, of whom 12,000
come to take the waters, the remaining
14,000 being tourists.

The centre of attraction is naturally
the Royal Kurhaus, It was built
in the 18*^ century, and has been
enlarged several times to cope with
the ever-increasing number of guests.
A colonnade leads to the Kursaal,
which is situated in the Pavilion

given above, all the springs are
thermal except the Stahlquelle and, ac-
cording to the analysis of Professor
Fresenius,are roughly equal in muriates
of sodium. The curative effects are
excellent in all catarrhal affections of
the mucous membrane, diseases of
the respiratory, digestive and urinary
organs and of the female sexual organs,
as well as in gout and rheumatism.

Above the town rises Malbers Hill,
about 1,100 feet in height. Pleasant and
easy roads lead ap the slope; but a rope
railway may be used if preferred. The
height is coyered with magnificent beech-
woods; and the sammit, which is crowned
with a outlook-tower, affords a fine view
of the district. A similar prospect is
also offered by the Bdmerthurm on
Winterberg, the hill lying to the E. of
Halberg. Across the river, to the right,
is seen the B&derlei, a stem and rugged
mass of slate in climbing which one passes
the so-called Hooshlltte and the monu-
ment to the Franeo-PrasslaB War. The
hill seen to the left of it is Baderberg.
Every few weeks, an interesting illumi-
nation of the Baderlei is instituted by the
Bath Committee. At various points of
the mountain are stationed link - boys
to the number of 600. At a given rocket-
signal, each lights his Bengal torch and

TREVES, the civiias iretwrorum of
the Romans, which has become^ in
German, Trier, is the oldest city in Ger-
many. Nestling in a lovely spot among
vine-clad hills of the Moselle, its build-
ing of greatest interest is, of course, the
celebrated Cathedral, to which nearly
all its streets lead, like the threads of
a spider's web to the centre. The
original building, on whose foundation
the present edifice stands, was a Roman
basilica dating back, doubtless, to the
time of the Emperor Valentinian L
(364—375). The place passed through
many vicissitudes, being partly de-
stroyed, first by the Franks and then
by the Normans: it was renovated by
Archbishop Poppo and his successors.
The vaulting of the nave dates from
the 13*b cent, — the treasury, with
its cupola, from the 17*^ century.
The Roman part of the structure will
be recognised by sandstone and brick
work, the additions made by Poppo
being of lime -stone and brick. The
interior, in which the Prankish capitals
and Roman arches are easily recognis-
able, contains monuments of John IlL
and the Elector Richard III.; while, in
the treasury, are preserved what arc
said to be the skulls of the Empress
Helena & St. Matthew and a nail from
the cross of Christ. (Entrance to these
wonders may be obtained on payment
of 1 mk.). But the most renowned
reliquus is the *'coat of Christ without
seam woven from the top throughout"
and preserved in the High Al
though rarely exhibited.

Another veiy interesting chu..
the Liebfrauenkirche close by
Cathedral. It is an early- G(
structure, the interior supported
12 columns bepainted with figure:
the twelve apostles, all. of which
visible from a block of sla*-^ '

iht 6ntraiicd. The building contains
numerous monuments and a mummy
of Bishop Theodolph (4th cent.).

A few paces southwards stands a
basilica of the 4tb century. Across
Palast PL and beyond the exceedingly
interesting Provincial Museum, are
the ruins of a palace once belonging to
the Roman emperors and now called
Kaiser Palast. It stands at the corner
of Ost-Aliee and SOd-Allee, the latter
road leading up the hill eastwards^, to
an * amphitheatre capable of seating
about 7,000 persons. The building
was probably erected in the days of
Trajan. Some other interesting relics
are the Rofftan Baths at the western
end of Siid-Allee, and the bridge across
the Moselle: the main part of the
structure was built by the Romans,
only the second and seventh pillars
being modern. Moreover, in the N.E.
of the town there is a well-preserved
Roman gate- way of the 4*h century,
called Porta Nigra: the structure has
additions made in the 1 1th cent.

Treves lie* in the great wine-growisg
district of the Moselle. Amooff the
most celebrated f^rowers are Messrs.
Kfihlwein & Go. (whose wines enjoy a
high repute), and the well-known nrm
of Messrs. Bud. & Wm. Manoher whose
head-quarters are at Neuatadt o/Haardt.

LUXEMBURG is the capital of the
Grand Duchy of the same name, a
small independent state lying between
Germany and Belgium with its S.W.
comer touching the boundary of
France (see introduction to Germany),
city has a mixed population,
common medium of intercourse

being I^rench. The upper -town lied
on a rocky plateau, the lower- town
in the valley of the Petrusse. Its
situation among rugged rocks and
varied plantations, its enormous via-
ducts, and its wooded hills to the
N. E. present a most beautiful and
striking aspect. A good idea of the
city is obtained by a walk round the
Ring which encircles the greater part
of the place and commands views of
the old ramparts as well as of the
two fine valleys through which the
Petrusse and the Alzette flow.

From the station we cross the
PetrusseValley to the Brucken Ring and
follow Konigsring to Hotel Brasseur
and through Amalia St into the
Plantations, where stands a monu-
ment to Princess Amalia. Keeping to
the right, we come to the Pescatore
Alms Houses, near which there is a
fine view across the deep valley of
the Alzette. Having walked rqund the
grounds of the institute, we pass to
the left and visit the Three Towers,
proceeding thence along the Neuen-
weg to Schlossbriicke whose arches,
superposed one upon another, span
the Pfaffenthal near the famous Bock.
The Bock is a cliff remarkable for
its casemates and bearing the ruins
of the old castle.

A road to the right leads aeross the
Brtlokenring to Constitution PL which
affoids a fine view of the Petrusse
Valley and the new Adolphbrfloke.
This bridge consists of two small arches
at either end and a magnificent middle
arch haviDg a span ox 84 metres —
the largest hitherto executed in stone.
The whole is a remarkably bold struc-
ture designed by Bodange. Following
now the tramway lines » we come to
WilhehnsPL embellished with a statue of
William II. (a master-pieoe by Mercier).
Here, too, is the Stadtkans (Hot deVille)

METZ, the capital of German
Lothringen (Lorraine) has a civil pop.
of some 60,(XX). The city is strongly
fortified, and is occupied by a garrison
of 20,000 Prussian, Saxon & Bavarian
soldiers. It lies in an extensive valley
on the banks of the Moselle, which
here spreads out into various arms.
Originally a settlement of the Gauls,
it became, in the 9*^1 cent., an inde-

pendent city of the German empire:
in 1556 it was ceded to France and
remained French till 1871.

The finest of its many noteworthy
buildings is the Cathedral, An \m-
posing Gothic structure built diiring
the 13*^ and 14^^ centuries and pos-
sessing a choir added 1(X) years later.
Both the nave and the tower are
exceptionally high, the latter 400 ft.

tained in the interior were demolished
during the French revolution ; ^••'t

and transept being H^h^ 15th and
I6tb cent. work. The font is an
ancient Roman bath.

Opposite the Cathedral is the Stadt-
haus, containing a small Museum.
Northwards of the Cathedral stand
the Theatre and the Government
Buildings. A bridge to the N. E.
of th£ latter leads across to Vmzenz St.
in which Vinzenzkirche, a handsome
13th cent, building, in Gothic style and
with Roman remains, is worth visiting.
Not far from the Stadthaus, at the
corner of Geisberg and Bibliothek St.,
stands the Library: it contains some
valuable historical collections, and a
few Roman antiquities.* Adjacent to
it is the old Austrasian Palace,
erected in 1599 on the spot where a
former Roman palace had stood, and
built, indeed, partly of the ruins. (In
the i^ and 8tb centuries, Metz was
the capital of Austrasia).

In the S. E. part of the city stand
the churches of Notre Dame and
St, Martin — the latter near one end
of Esplanade St. At the other end of
this street rises the Palace of Justice,
formerly the residence of the French
governor. Beyond it, in Bouffler's
Garden, there is a fine bronze statue
of Prince Frederick Carl of Prussia,
raised in memory of his great victory
of 1870. The middle Esplanade is
embellished with an equestrian statue
of the Emperor William 1.

The battle-fields to the E. and W. of
the city require several hours inspection
to be appreciated. They are very exten-
sive and interesting, the most important
spot to visit being, of course, Grave-
lotte, which lies about 5 miles W. of
city. From this spot, when the
le began on the 16th oi Aug.,
main body of the German army
jad about 2 miles S. to Bois de
4X, and N. to St, Marie, where
bent W., past St, Privat and
cours; the principal French army
g, of course, along the heights
wards. The 3Pd and IQth German
ps, at Bois de Vaux, and the 2°d and

259

7th corps, posted at Gravelotte, shut
in the 2nd and S^d Fren;h corps

the 16th of Aug. lies E. of the pity
and stretches away to a distance of
5 miles to the E. and S. E.

A short distance across the frontier
lies Nancy (see route 85) which forms
a favourite excursion from Metz.

STOLZEBTFEiiS. Some 5 miles be-
yond Coblence lies -the little hamlet
of CAPBLLBN (Hoi.: Btolienfels ;
BelleTve) overlooked, from a height
of 310 feet, by the proud CASTLE OF
STOLZENFELS. The original building
was a very ancient one, and was
replaced, in 1259, by a fortress
erected by Archbishop Arnold of
Treves. This edifice having been re-
duced to a ruin by the French in
1689, it was restored by Schinkel in
1823 for the Crown Prince Frederick
William, and is now the property of
the Emperor William 11. (Tickets to
view the Castle, 25 pf.). Apart from
the valuable frescoes it contains, it
also affords a fine prospect of the
Rhine and the valley ot the Lahn.
The best point of view, however, is
from Augusta Hohe above the Castle
(IV4 hours).

HOT.: Weller; Lmhneek), at the moath
of the Lahn : it is principally indastriaJ,
and possesses considerable docks. Its

projecting gables, is well worth seeing^.
At one end of the town is Schloes
Martinsbnrir) a Uth cent, bailding which
was formerly the castle of the Electors
of Mayence. A quarter of an hour
distant stands the old Castle of Lahneek,
with its fine tower crowning a high
and overhanging rock: it was once the
residence of the Electors of Mnyeuce,
and is first mentioned in the year 12-2 .
Having been almost demolished by the

17*

Siolzenfels Castle and Chapeh

French in 1B89, it has, in recent years,
been rebuilt and rendered habitable.

The Lahn is one of the most im-
portant tributaries of the Bhine. In
its valley lie the celebrated spa of Ems
and the small but important town of
Nftssan. (See route 27 b).

BHEBTSiHOT.: KSnigstnlil), a village

About 10 minutes below the hamlet
stands the Konigstabl, a building wbich
had gone to rum, but was re-erected in
1848, the principal materifils used being
the old fallen stones. The edifice stanus at
the spot where the Electorates of Cologne,
Treves and Mayence touch one another;
and the spot whs consequently chosen as
a meeting-place for the Electors, bence
its name, which means the King's Sl<»at.

BRAVBACH (POP.: 2,t00. - HOT.:
Kftiserliof) is a centre for some delight-
ful excursions, one of the best of which
is to Dachskopf '2Va hrs.). Above Brau-
baoh, On a rock 500 feet in height, rises
the well-preserved Castle of Harksbarg :
it is, indeed, the only fortress on the
Bhine wbich has escaped the ravages of
time and war.

BOPPARD (POP.: 6,000. — HOT.:
Spiegel) is frequented by a large number
ot visitors on account of its picturesque
f-ituation and interesting buildings. Of

these latter the most noteworthy is the
Pfsrrkirche, with its two towers and
choir (I2th cent.): the decoration of the
interior has been recently restored in
excellent taAte. Another old Church is
Karmeliterkirehey a Gothio building
(13lH). On the banks of the Bhine, and
close to the ferry, stands the old Elec-
toral Castle. Other buildings within the
town are the Franziskaner'Kloster, the
remains of the Tempelhof in Seiten (^asse
and St. Martin's Kloster,

Above the town, in Honsraeker Bead,
stands the old Harienbeig, formerly a
Benedictine convent, now a hydro.

A beautiful excursion is up the valley of
the Wisper to Sehwalbaeh & Schlan gem-
bad (see route 16). A quarter of an
hour's walk from Lorch, the valley of
the Saner opens into that of tbe Wisper
and is interesting for its ruins of
Sanerbnrr Castle.

Between Lorch and Assmannshausen,
the steamer eroing upstream passes the
village of Niederrhelnbaeh, overlooked
by the tower ot Uelmbnrg Castle on
the left bank of the Rhine. A mile or
two further is seen the castle-tower of
Sonneeky and, a like distance beyond it,
the village of Treehtingshaasen. Opposite
this place, the Bodenthal falls into the
Rhine; while, to the right of it and close
to the right bank of tbe Rhine some
fine summits come into view, e.g.:—
Teofelskadrich (1,400 feet); Horkopf (1,240
feet); Bacharaehkopf 0.1-'^ feet).

Opposite the last stands the pic-
turesque old Castle of Bheinstein, over-
looking the stream from a height of
2ti0 feet.

ASSMANBrSHAVSEBr (HOT.: Anker),
lying on the right bank of the Rhine
and at the foot of the Niederwald, is
celebrated for its fiary red wine and
delightful situation. The proximity of
the Niederwald monument, attracts
many visitors.

THE NIEDERWALD

is a fine hill 1,100 ft. high and covered
with vineyards and woods.

At its foot flows "Father Rhine"; while,
on one of its shoulders opposite the
town of Bingen, stands the celebrated
National Honament mentioned above.
The main figure, bearing: the Imperial

961

Crown and a garlanded sword, is that
of Germania, and was designed by
SehlUing of Dresden: the base of the
erection, deoorHted with reliefs symbol-
iaing the Bhine Wateh and others re-
presenting William I. with the various
German princes, generals &c., is the
work of the well-known architect, Carl
Welssbaeh of Dresden.

On the summit of the hill above
stands

<<flotel Jagdsehloss NIederwald'S a
first-class establishment with an ex-
cellent restaurant attached.

On the southern slope of the hill,
close to the stream, lie the ruins of

briick: it is some B'JO yearn old^ and
appears to have obtained ita name from
an old German word which signified
either a weapon or an outlook ; but
the name was corrupted, and gave
riae to a legend which say a that a
certain Bishop HattCF, who had burned
a number i>f poor people in a ham,
was {^hae^ed by mice aa far as the tower
aod there devoured. Another version
of the saga is that the bis Imp, aft^r
having b#e-a for many years followed
by the micflT, built the tower here, in
tha middle of the Stream in order to
escape his tormentors.

This latter legend receives <. r
from the character of the strean ,t
this spot; the Rhine, becoming : >
rower and narrower, rushes here »-
tween its banks in dangerous ra is
and whirl-pools ; so that the place •
obtained the name of Binger L i.

patients annuall3^ The town itself
consists of two parts, — the Neustadt,
lying on the left bank of the Nahe,
and the Altstadt, on the right bank,
the two sections being joined by a
bridge, from which a picturesque
view is obtained. This bridge is an
old stone structure supporting a
number of dwelling-houses and em-
bellished with a cross and a statue
of St. Nepomuk.

Among other sights of the place is
the Pauluskirche, built on the site
of the old edifice demolished by the
French in 1689; the ruins of the choir
have been preserved in the English
Church. The school in Kreuz St.
contains the Museum of the Anti-
quarian Society. There is a column
to ^Bismarck on Bismarck PI. An-
other monument — a spirited sculpture
by Cauer — depicts Michel Mort the
butcher, saving his country's ruler,
Count John of Sponheim, who has
been wounded in battle against the
Archbishop of May ence. In 1893, ex-
cavations in HUjffelsheinter Ckaussee
revealed an excellently - preserved
mosaic floor: it is Roman work re-
presenting fighting gladiators.

But the centre of attraction is,
naturally, the 'Kurhaus', with its beauti-
ful Park : the latter is delightfully laid
out with gardens and fountains, and
embellished with avenues. During the
season, an excellent band, consisting
of 40 musicians, plays thrice daily, the
moving throng of listeners presenting
a most motley aspect. At one end
of the Park is the Elisabeth Quelle,
which is the principal spring, and
rises beneath a tasteful tabernacle.

The sprmgs are seventeen in
number, of which three are strongly
saline, the Oranien Quelle contain-
ing over lA^/o of sodium chloride.
Some of them rise naturally
from the faults in the porphyr}',
some from borings over 700 feet
deep. The temperature of the
Elisahethquelle is 12® C, that of
the Karlshalle Hauptquelle 2A^ C.

The waters of the Elisabeth and

bathing purposes. The curative effects
of the waters lie in their possessing
salts of sodium, lithium*^ bromium
and iodine.

The baths, strengthened by the
addition of the celebrated "Kreuz-
nacher Mutterlauge", are administered
in most comfortably-appointed hotels

and bathing establishments situated
in the charming viila-quarter.

Bat the spa does not depend merely
npon its waters for its reputation. Pro-
tected effectaally trom the bleak winds

Moreover, the vaulting of the interior,
supported upon 56 pillars, produces
a deep sense of solemnity. There
are also numerous tombs and monu-
ments, the principal of them belong-
ing to the 16 th cent. The transept
contains, among other interesting
statues, SchivantkaJer*s Frauenlob, a
marble monument to the minnesinger
Heinrich von Meissen.

A little to the S.W. of the Markt,
where an old fountain (1626) stands,
is Gutenberg PL, named after the
great printer and embellished with
his statue, executed in 1837 by Thor-
waldsen. The Gutenberg Museum
was opened 1901.

The north-western side of the square
is occupied by the Theatre; while,
south westwards, is a square adorned
with a statue of Schiller, from which
it takes its name.

Along the banks of the Rhine runs
one of the finest promenades of this
famous stream, well -planted with
trees and having a large number of
steamboat piers and several bathing-
places. At its south-eastern end is
the large Military Hospital: right
in the middle of the promenade
is situated the Stadthalle, containing
one of the largest saloons of Ger-
many: some distance beyond it, and
opposite the head of the bridge, is
the Armory and the Grand- Ducal
Palace ; whije between Schlossthor
and Kaiserthor rises the Electoral
Palace, now in course of renovation
at a cost of 900,000 mks. This fine
building is the depository of some
valuable collections, namely, Roman
and Teutonic Antiquities, a Picture
Gallery and a Library, The first
of these is very extensive and valu-
able, among the picture^s being not
a few that are well worth seeing:
the most striking specimens are works
by Jan Steen, Ruysdael, Dirk Hals,

Jordaens, Dtirer, Teniers, Mabuie
and Thorwaldsen. The Library ia
open Wed. and Sat. 9—4 o'clock
and on other days, 9 — 1 o'clock. It
contains 180,000 volumes, including
4,500 incunabula by Gutenberg, Fust,
Schoffer &c.

In Grosse Bleiehe, at the eastern
corner is the Concerthaus der Lieder-
iafel, built by Ch. Riihl and con-
taining large restaurant: half-way up
the street there is a fine fountain.
Passing out of Schloss PL northwest-
wards, we reach Kaiser Si, lined
with a splendid avenue, and containing
the noteworthy Christuskirche and
the Imperial Bank,

Most of the finest buildings, how-
ever, lie in the southern part of the
town (Altstadt). Next to those al-
ready mentioned, the most important
are the following:—

Johannes Kirche, a little to the
S.W. of the Cathedral ; northwards,
across Bishop PI., stands the Epis-
copal Palace: St Quintin*s Church,
in Schuster St. Outside the city, to
the S., stands the Citadel, in whose
S.W. corner rises an old Roman
tower called the Eigelstein, and bear-
ing also the name of Drususthurm,
after the general in commemoration
of whose death here in A. D. 9 it
was erected.

Mayence is an important industrial
centre possessing very extensive
champagne cellars and doing a brisk
trade in preserves, leather, beer &c.
It has direct communication with
Darmstadt, Frankfort o. M., Wies-

WORMS, now a thriving industrial I Sf, PauVs Church and St. Paul's

town, was once a free and imperial
city in which the emperors were
crowned, and it still contains nume-
rous tokens of former days«
The principal sights are: —
-The Cathedral of St. Peter, a
magnificent specimen of Romanesque
architecture, and a striking struc-
ture with a long nave and transept,
' towers , two cupolas , two
irs and a grand porch. The
idations were probably laid in
9th cent. ; but the main building,
ibed to Bishop Burkhard, is

century work.
'. Martin's and St. Andrew's,
Romanesque churches, likewise
ig back to Bishop Burkhard*s day.

Museum contain interesting col-
lections including a unique Luther
Library.

The Church of Our Lady (Lieb-
frauenkirche) , at the extreme N. of
the town, is a late-Gothic edifice of
exceptional grace and beauty, which
has recently undergone a thorough
restoration: its porch is embellished
with figures representing the wise
and foolish virgins.

Around the church is grown the
celebrated wine known as Lleb-
fraumllch , the largest vineyards
being the property of Messrs. P. J.
Valckenberg, Limited. The firm
was founded in the year 1786;
and it is chiefly owing to their

271

cultivation and care that the Lieb-
fraumilch wines have grown so
famous. In the course of their
long existence Messrs. Valckenberg
have become the owners of the
finest vineyards of the district, in^
eluding the **Klostergarten" and the
"Luginsland"; the former produces
the best Liebfraumilch , — the
latter is a very famous hill that
shuts in Worms to the south and
yields some of the most delicious
wines of the Rhine.

The Synagogue, with the Raschi-
kapelle, is a very interesting llth cent,
building in Romanesque style.

But perhaps the greatest attrac-
tion of Worms is its connection
with Luther, who, summoned be-
fore the diet here, uttered the
memorable words **f>ier ftelje id^,
id? fanii nic^t anbers, (Sott Ijelfe mir,

reformer will be found close to the
Neue Thor.

Finally, there are the Trinity and

Monument, the Ludwig Monument
and the two handsome bridges that
span the Rhine.

MANNHEIM is the second town
in the Grand Duchy of Baden. It
lies at the confluence of the Neckar
with the Rhine. The inner town
is built in squares and surrounde^i
by boulevards that form, as it were^
an ar^h, with its base r^isting
upon the Schlossgarten (that shuts it
off from the Rhine) and its crown
touching the Neckar, where a bridge
joins it with Ried Station and the
Neckar Garden. The whole area
contains 21 numbered and lettered
blocks with 10 streets running
horizontally to the base and 1 1
vertically. Lines of electric tramvi'^ay
cross the town in two directions,
the one from the Neckar Bri.ige
to the Grand Ducal Schloss (Palace),
the other joining the Rheinthor
to VVasserthurm , where it turns to
the right and runs down to the
chief railway station, a large and
handsome building in the south oT
the town, opposite the end of
Kaiserring.

A short distance up this boule-
vard we pass a statue of Bismarck^
and, in five minutes, reach the fan.

Is the Church of the Holy

ft, erected at the close of the

L cent, under Rupert III. By a

, built in 1705, it is divided

two parts, the one being Pro-

>t and the other Roman Catholic.

The eastern side of Markt PI. is
occupied by the Police Station and
the Rathaus, the latter dating from
1701 and containing a fine room
decorated with frescoes by Linden-
schmidt. From the northern side of
the church, we pass through Stein
Gasse to the head of the old bridge
with its ancient gateway and towers:
it is embellished with a statue of
the Elector Carl Theodor under
whom, in 1786, it was erected: the
figures round the pedestal represent

277

theRhifte, XheNeckar, the Danube and
the Moselle. Another statue is that of
Minerva, also surrounded with alle-
gorical figures. From the bridge,
an admirable view of the river and
its banks is obtained. On the
northern bank is the Heiligenberg:
down the river we get a glimpse of
the new bridge; while, on the left
hand, is Gaisherg^ surmounted by
a Belvedere: * southeastwards , the
grand ruins of the Old Castle over-
look the town.

This CASTLE (Schloss) may be
reached, either by the rope railway
from Korn Markt Station (35 pf.),
or by cab (2 pers. 2.50 mks., 4 pers.
3 mks., for single fare, the return
fare being 4 *mks., irrespective of
number): pedestrians may take a
pleasant and easy road from the
Korn Markt or from St. Peter's

Church: a third route, via Burg-
weg, is shorter and shadier, but
somewhat steep.

The tariff for viewing the Castle
and the almost as celebrated great
tun is, for 1 pers., 1 mk., for 2 or
3 pers., 1.50 mk., for every add'f
person 50 pf.

This once lordly castle, still magni-
ficent in decay, stands upon a
wooded projection of the Konig-
stuhli and dates back, doubtless, to
the days of Conrad von Hohen-
staufen. But the various buildings
of which it' consists wefe added
principally by Rupert III. (1400),
Frederick I. and Ludwig V. (1544};
and, indeed, the building was not com-
-pleted until the reign of Frederick V.,
son-in-law of James I. of Ertgland,
During the Thirty Years' War, it
suffered some slight damage; but it

was from the troops of Louis XIV.
of France that it received its most
serious injuries. Under Qouni Melac,
they besieged both town and castle,
and, on the 2nd March 1689, blasted
the fortifications. Four years later,
after the capitulation of Heidersdorf,
both town and castle were re-
duced to little better than a heap
of stones and ashes. The stout
walls of the Castle, however, still
remained almost intact, and, under
Carl Philip, partial restorations were
undertaken; but, since the Castle
was struck by lightning in 1764,
no further attempts have been
made to render it again habitable,
and the wonderful ruins now stand,
a sad witness recalling the eventful
centuries during which the Castle
flourished.

As we approach them from the
Castle grounds we obtain an ex-
cellent view of the two groups
into which they fall. On the western
and southern sides, is the simple
Gothic building erected, chiefly, by
Ludwig v.; while, to the N. and
W., stand the richly decorated Re-
naissance , erections. The parts of
the first groups — ascribed to Lud-
wig — are situated on the eastern
side of the court-yard, and may be
recognised by a tower with wind*"'"
stair-way as well as by the coal
arms. Attached to this part are
ancient offices, such as the kitch
slaughter - houses, bake - houses i
and, finally, the barrack rooi
with a picturesque Gothic hall i

From the court -yard, one also
olitnins a glimpse of the Library, of
which but slight remains still exist:
in this part of the building, the ladies'
apartments were also situated ; and
a large drawing-room devoted to
them is still sometimes used.

The second group contains the
so-called \^lass saloon* (erected by
Krederick IL, in the 16*h cent.) as well
as the additions made by Otto Heinrich,
a few years later, and the buildings
of Frederick I. and Frederich'V,: the
last is termed "Der englische Ban",
The buildings, erected by Otto Heinrich
(1556) form, perhaps, the finest spe-

cimen of early German Renaissance
architecture extant. The lowest
floor is occupied by the Kaisersaal
and the living apartments of the
electors. In these rooms, there is a
collection of antiquities and works of
art among which may be mentioned
a series of portraits including those
of Tilly, General Milac, Luther
(Kranach the elder), Melanchthon
(Kranach the younger), Prince Henry
of Orange Nassau with consort
(Netherland school) &c.

In Otto Heinrich's Bau, built by
Colyn of Mecheln (Antwerp), one re-
cognises the influence of the Nether-
land school; where, as in the Fried-
rich*s Bau (designed by Schoch of
Strasburg in 1601), the more vertical

in style than Colyn's, is embellished
with statues of sixteen ancestors of
the Palatinate dynasty.

To obtain a good view across the so-
called English Building, with its simple
and clear Renaissance characteristics,
it is advisable to ascend the Altan
which affords a magnificent outlook
in varioud directions.

Between it and the Englischer Bau
is the Gothic 'Fassbau*, erected by
Johann Casimir (1591). The Great
Tun, lying within it, was built under
Karl Theodor, in 1751, and is capable
of conta'ning 221,726 litres: like its
predecessors, it is regarded as sym-
bolic of the town of Heidelberg.

From the GlocheMihurm (Belfry
Tower), a view of the fortifications
is to be had: from the top, one per-

ceives how precipitously the hiil falls
away on three sides, the castle being
aj5proachable only from the S.; here,
a moat, spanned by a bridge and
guarded by a tower 180 ft. in height,
was formed. The eastern side was
protected by three towers, namely:—
the so-called Blasted Tower, the ivy-
mantled Apothecary's Tower and
the Belfry Tower. These were once
joined by double walls; while, to
complete the fortification, the ** Dicker
Tfittrm'* (broad tower) was erected
on the western side.

Opposite the castle stands the
Bismarck Column. In the surrounding
park, there is a Monument to
Scheffel: the spot where it stands
is called **Scheffel Blick" and affords
a good* view of the Neckar. Another
celebrated prospect is that from

RHENISH PALATINATE.

The Palatinate is one of the love-
Uest, mqst favoured, and most fertile
distdctii of Germany.

The picturesque Haardt Mts. and
the wildly romantic spurs of the
Vosges enclose valleys of infinite
charm; while their numerous summits,
crowned with ruins or rugged rocks,
command most delightful panoramic
views. The Palatinate Mts., with their
glorious woods, form one of the
most beautiful chains in Germany;
and the Palatinate Forest, with its
oaks and beeches, its pines and
its firs, is one of the largest and
grandest of its kind. The Palatinate
is rich in picturesque ruins, of which
it possesses some 140, a number
scarcely rivalled by any other district
of similar dimensions.

NEUSTADT is an ancient town
situated in the midst of the vine-
yards of the Palatinate and sur-
ded by most beautiful scenery,
g the junction of the railway
. from the Rhine and Berlin to
zerland and Italy and enjoying
t celebrity for its delicious wines,
>rms the centre of the Palatinate

h the immediate and the more
..it environs afford numberless and
'-^ful excursions; and, from spring

to .autumn, thousands of tourists
gather here every Sunday.

The town is justly styled **the
Pearl of the Palatinate". Indeed,
Neustadt and the encircling heights,
dotted everywhere with castles, man-
sions and villages, spanned by a
clear blue' sky and adorned with
blossom or fruit, forms a sight not
easily to be matched.

SPIBES (POP.: 20,000. — BOTBLt
Wlttelsbaelier Hof), ceded to Germany,
"on account of its wines*', by the
Treaty of Verdun, is celebrated as
the town before whose diet Luther,
in 1529, made his famous declaration
of dissent from the decree of
Charles V., his adherers then re-
ceiving the denomination > of Pro-
testant The place is equally re-
nowned for its old Cathedral, a
magnificent Romanesque edifice dating
back to the 11th cent., it having
been founded by Emp. Conrad II.
The building has two cupolas and
four towers, the western one being
nearly 240 feet high. Tlie ascent
of the towers and a stroll through
the colonnade that encompasses the
building are recommended. The
interior contains some grand fres-
coes by Schrandolph, some late-
Gothic reliefs, and an interesting
crypt A large number of monarchs
have been interred in the cathedral,
,such as Conrad II. (1039), Henry III.
(1066), Henry V. (1125). The church-
yard, too, is worth visiting. It pos-
sesses a large sandstone howl, which
every new bishop was required to
fill with wine, that the citizens might
drink his health.

At the other end of the town,
in Augustiner St., is the ''Museum
Pfalzischer Altertiimer" (Antiquities
of the Palatinate) a good collection,
deposited, together with a number
of paintings, in the Real Schule.
At the end of Maximilian St. is Alt

At the ' end of Juden Gasse is a

Other important buildings are the
following: —

St, Thomas* CAwrc* (of similar style
to the Minster) contains a remarkable
monument representing the Marshal
of Saxony being hindered by France
from stepping into a coffin.

The Synagogue, an exceptionally
beautiful structure facing Hotel

by visitors.

The Kaiser Palast, erected from
Eggert's designs in 1880, the style

being Italian Renaissance: it is sumptu-
ously decorated and contains a very
handsome stair-case.

The new General Post Office is a
magnificent pile occupy mg a site of
about 11,000 square metres. .

In the same square (Kaiser Pi.)
are situated the "Laudesausschuss-

Near Kaiser PI. is situated the
Contades, a park formed, in 1764,
by the French marshal afer whom

two Libraries leads across the /// to
the University, which, established in
1621, and, after a lapse of 78 years,
iC'Opened in 1872, is both extensive

3d: From STRASBURS via
SCHLETTSTADT &c. to the VOSGES
MTS.orvia MOLHAUSEN to SWITZER-
LAND or the BLACK FOREST
(see also roites 33, 34 &c.).

From Strasburg southwards, the
country becomes more and more
mountainous in character. The only
flat - district is the narrow strip of
land lying between the Rhine and
the III and traversed by the Rhone
Canal. At the southern end of this
tract of country, the ever-narrowing
Rhine Valley turns sharply eastwards,
and the offshoots of the Alps begin.
From Carlsruhe to Bale, the western
border of this valley is formed by the

9B4

heights of the Black Forest; while
a similar range of mountains to the
W. of the 111 runs from Belfort
throughout Alsace into the southern
part of the Bavarian Palatinate. These
are the celebrated Vosges. They
constitute the modem boundary
between Germany and France, and
are connected with the Jura Mts. by
the Pass of. Belfort. The range is
divided into three parts, viz., the
Higher Vosges, stretching northwards
to the Valley of the Leber and con-
taining the Great Belchen, (4,677 feet),
the Middle Vosges, as far as the
Marne Canal, and the Lower Vosges
reaching to Queich.

The last two ranges are sandstone
formations best visited from Stras-
burg: the Higher Vosges are of
granite, and lying to the W. of Colmar
and Mulhausen, contain a number ot
famous 'heights and passes.

The climate of the resort is bracing

and invigorating, — a characteristic
due to the proximity of extensive
woods of pine, fir, beech and oak
as well as to the constant breezes
which blow from the mountains. A
porous soil and an excellent supply of
spring-water also conduce to render
the place exceedingly healthy.

At the station-end of the town there
is a park known as the H err engarten.
In the market-place stands a tower
of the old fortifications. Other inter-
esting buildings are: — the Rathaus,
containing interesting antiquities; the
Catholic Church (15th cent.); and
several houses of the 15th& 16thcent.
in the main street. There is also a
noteworthy fountain (16th cent.).

About 10 min. distant from Eappolts-
weiler lies CAB0L4 BATH, a spa well-
known for its efAoaoy in oases of gravel,
stone &o.

Together with Hohkonigsburg and
the Rappoltsweiler Castles it forms
one of the chief sights of the famous
and beautiful Vosges. At the present
day the bath enjoys a world-wide
repute ; and the recent enlargement
and renovation of the buildings are
calculated to increase its renown.
Among the additions the most notable
is the bottling -house, an admirably
appointed establishment connected by
a local line with the imperial railway.

CARLSRUHE, the capital of the
Grand Duchy of Baden is a beau-
tiful and regularly-built town situated
among lorest - lands some 5 miles
from the Rhine and on the skirts
of the Black Forest. It was founded,
in 1715, by the Margrave - Carl
William of Baden Durlach , who
erected a wooden chateau here among
the woods, through which he had
roads cut in all directions. Round
the castle , and at a distance of
about 1,3C)0 feet, a ring -promenade
was formed , which gives to the
place, on the map, the appearance
of a sun, the roads forming the
rays. The fifteen roads south of
Moltke St. and Rindheimer .^llee
run through the town: the fifteen
to the north dissect Hardt Forest
and Fasanen Garten (Pheasant Garden).
The former of these is one ot the
most beautiful of its kind; while the
latter is of great interest.

The present castle was built by
Carl Frederick in 1754: its splendid

287

Apartments contain a number of
notable objects, the principal being
those of the Z&hringer Museum.
The stables and a high tower are
also open to the public. Close by-
are the Schlosskirche , the Hof-
theater, and the Winter Garden,
Between the last two are situated
the Botanical Garden and the Orange
House. Next comes the

Kunsthalle, containing extensive
collections of paintings, the most
valuable of which are those hung in
room I and cabinet 8, and belonging
respectively to the Dutch and modern
German schools. Of interest are the
pictures representing the local schools
of Alsace and Svvabia.

To the left of the building stands
the palace of Prince William: while
close to the royal stables is the
treasury. In the middle of Schloss
PI. rise* a bronze statue of Carl
Frederick, from designs by Schwann
thaler; hence, through Karl Friedrich
St, we reach the Markt Pi., where
an artificial hill, called the Pyramid,
affords a good view of the town,
^cross Markt PI. runs the principal
thoroughfare, named Kaiser St.,
closed at one end by a statue of the
Emp, William J., and, at the other,
by the Catholic Church. Passing
down Karl Friedrich St., we reach
the Rondel, where the residence of
the Margrave stands; close by, at
Friedrich PL, is a museum entitled
"Gebdude der vereinigten gross-
herz, Sammlungen^' : the building
contains archaeological and anthro-
pological collections, with mediseval
weapons, art objects, stone monu-
ments &c.

From Carlsruhe, a line of rail,
called the Albthal-Bahn, runs up the
beautiful Alb Valley, reaching, in

HERRENALB is a health-resort
situated in a charming valley- and
on both sides of the Alb, at a spot
where several valleys converge to
form the wide Wiesenihal. Its beau-
tiful position, surrounded by densely
wooded heights, offers some most
delightful strolls and excursions, and
draws to it, annually, some 3,500
visitors.

From Herrenalb the road continues
via Dohel to Wildbad (see Black
For. II). Both Frauenalb and Herren-
alb are situated in the Black Forest.

BLACK FOREST.

This magnificent dbirict — with
its grand peaks, its vast woodland
tracts, its charming gkns and ravines,
and celebrated spas — stretches from
Bale and Sackingen on the S, to
Pforzheim and Carlsruhe on the N.
It is bordered on two sides by the
Rhine, and, occupying the whole of
Baden and a part of Wurtemberg,
forms, perhaps, the finest forest in
Europe. The district may be ap-
proached fronj various points. Tourists
coming from the N. enter it either
via Baden - Baden or Strasburg end
Appenweier: those coming from
Switzerland, travel via Bale or Singen
and the Black Forest Railway; or,
if the left bank of the Rhine has been
followed to Miilhausen, a branch
of rail is used to Mullheirn (see '
Bl. For. IV).

The Black Forest obtained
world-wide repute chieDy Ihroush

Mountain Railway (Schwarzwaldb

through it flows the Oosbach, from
whose banks, the tree-clad hiUs which
protect the town rise to a height of
between 3,000 and 4,000 feet.

The climate, though very mild in
winter, is rendered somewhat bracing
by the neighbourhood of the moun-
tains. For the same reason, showers
are frequent; but the porosity of the
soil, assisted by the excellent sanitary
arrangements, rapidly carries off the
superfluous rain. The close vicinity of
the pine-woods keeps the atmosphere
constantly supplied with ozone ;
while the fertility of the district
has won for Baden the title or the
Garden of Gdrmany. In ils varied

soil flourish the oak and the beech,
the chestnut and the pine, whose
changing tints make the early
Autumn the favourite season for
visiting the spa.

The town has a resident population
of l6,(iC0; and its many attractions
draw to it no fewer than 60,000
visitors annually : most of these come,
of course^ to take the waters, to
which the place owes its name, their
efficacious character having been re-
cognised for several centuries. Their
main constituents are common salt,
chloride of Ifthium, calcijm arsenides,
and silicates. The principal diseases

The 'TrinTihalle', — recently erected

during the early hours of the day,
when an excellent band plays. In

Emp. William I.

Southwards of this spot is the 'Com-
versation House , a handsome edifice
erected at the time when gaming was
still legal, its roulette rooms being
now used for receptions and the like.
The building possesses a portico sup-

ported by eight Corinth an pillars: in

which are given morning, afternoon

of the day, the grounds become the
rendezvous of the most aristocratic
circles; indeed, here, as in most places
of the kind, the beautiful park and

The old university city, with its
suburbs Wiehre, Herdern, Haslach and
Giinterstal, has a population of 70,000:
it is the capital of the Breisgau, the
residence of the heir-apparent and an
emporium for the .products of the
Black Forest; the most important
industries being the manufacture of
buttons, silk and cotton goods. Its
wonderful situation, in a lovely val'ey
surrounded by vineyards and fertile
fields, and shut-in by the tree-topped
heights of the Back Forest, whose
fretted outline cuts the deep blue sky,
has gained for it the title of the *'Pearl
of Breisgau". Though thus protected,
it has a bracing climate, which, t' -
gether with the beautiful environs and
the interesting character of the town
itself, renders it one of the most
attractive resorts of the Blaclc Forest.

The town possesses a quaint me-
diaeval aspect; and its many ancient
buildings are architecturally and
historically interesting. The most not-
able of them are the following: —

CIIUBCHES: The Minster, one of the
handsomest Gothic piles in Germany,
is built, ior the most part, of glowing
red sandstone, though its olde&t parts,
which date back to the 12^^ cent., are
of yellow sandstone. The main spire —
over 400 feetUa height, with ltd airy per-
forated work and delicate tracery —
is considered by many to be the finest
in the world. The body of the build-
inq; consists of a nave and two aisles,
with a transept surmounted by a
dome, and a choir surrounded by
numerous chapels. Among the many
interesting antiquities and works of
art contained in the interior, the most

striking is, perhaps, the altar-piece by
Hans Holbein the younger (1520) in the
University Chapel. In the choir is
another fine altar-piece by Baldung*
Giien (loll) and also some splendid
stained glass. In the nave, close to the
mi Idle column of the porch, there is a
beautiful early-Gothic Madonna. In the
aisles, there is some good stain ed»g lass,
mostly 14*i» cent, work: the left aisle
contains the so - called Grafenkapelte
(Count's Chapel) with a representation
of the Mount of OLves by Kempf (1168)
and the tombs of the Archbishops of
Freiburg: in the right aisle is the Chapet
of the Holy Sepulchre with, close by, the
statue of Duke Berthold V., the last of
the Zfih ringers (1218). The vestibule,
with its numberless statues of apostles,
saints and prophets, produces a wonder-
fully sMemn effect

lu the tower, whif'h is ascended by
the steps to the ri<?lit of the vestibule,
the bells and clock are interesting,
tue oldest of the former having been
cast in 1258.

St. Martin's (ParishChurch),with early-
Gothic choir and laie-Go'hic nRve, con-
tains frescoes and coloured ceilintf.

Ludwiff's EraogeHeal, a Transitional
edifice with paintings in the choir.

Horz Jesn. designed by Max Meckel
in Khenish Transitional style.

St. John's contains a quantity of
stain ed-gldss.

Michael's Chapel possesses, in the
porch, an interesting Dance of Death.

Christ's Chnreh; the handsome Viii-
Tersity Cbarch &c*

There is also a massive, vaulted
Chapel in the New Cemetery: it is
sumptuously ornnmented with frescoes,
mosaics and statues.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS:— The
Kau/haus (Guildhall) is a 16th cent,
structure in late-Gothic style, with
an effective, vaulted vestibule resting
upon 5 columns. The statues em-
bellishing the exterior represe ' e

Freiburg is a celebrated educational
centre. Besides its various schools,
it possesses a university of great fame.
Indeed, the excellence of the lectures
here attracts numerous American
students, including a large proportion
of ladies.

The attractions of the city, b"*^
in summer and in winter, are v
numerous. The theatre and concf
are of the highest order. The fori
is principally frequented during
winter months; while in summer
Public Gardens (conceits daily) f
the centre of social life.

WALKS AND EXGUBSIOmS: ^

■ Schwabenthor up Schlossber.^ (l,o25 ft.).
The climb is rather a steep one, but
}s rewarded by the beautiful gimiise
afforded of the M inciter from the end or
the Iznnaenibal Road, near the so-oniied
Kanonen PI. Hard by are the ruins
of two strong castJes destroyed by the
French in I'i'iA and dovv su' roundel
by pretty gardens. From Ludwigsbohe
(i,SOO feet), above Kanonon PJ., a fine
view ot the Dreisam Valley with the
city and the Rhine f'Uin is obtained.
The highest point of the moantnin is
the io-oalled Mond (l,5oO »bet), rea(^hed
from Ludwig>h6he, via Hnlnmoud, Fell-
bergblick and Ilohen Briioke.

Other excursions may be combined with
that to the Schlogsberg. For example,
from the Hohen Brilc.ke, a footpatli leads
by Silbermann Brannen to St. Ottilien.
Nearly two hours further is the Ross-
kopf, a fine height (2,-00 feet) with an
outlook tower. Beyond, it are the rains
of Zahrintrer C«»tle.

Among innumerable ether delightful
trips, the most cel^bratei are: - To
Waldsee, a lovely spot within Va hour
of Wiehre, the pretty suburb lying
along the left bank of the Dreisam;
to Bad Littenweiler (another hour);
to tre charmins: village ot Giinteistal
& the well-known rt'sort of Lorettoberg.

L,OR£TTOBEUG, owing tO its
beautiful situation and good climate,
is one of the most favoured spots in
the vicinity of Freiburg. It has con-
sequently been chosen as the site
for a sanatorium called Sanatorium
Lorettoberg which commands an un-
broken view of the city and the sur-
rounding wooded heights. Tranquilly
located in the midst of large park-
like grounds, the institute bears the
character of an elegant private resi-
dence without the slightest suggestion
of hospital or hotel life. Its rooms
are exceptionally large, light and
lofty; its hygienic and sanitary ar-
rangements answer all modern re-
quirements; and the woods in the
immediate neighbourhood afford an
inexhau.stible variety of most delight-
jl walks.

The chief complaints treated are: —

Tvous affections; disturbances in

etabolism, e. g. gout, chlorosis;

seases of the heart and bloodvessels;
jeumatism; female compUints; con-
alescent conditions etc. (debility,

ronic typhlitis and the like).

Great attention is paid to ciisinc
and a choice is givea of mixed or
vegetarian diet, where the latter is
not peremptorily prescribed.

Baths of every description (electric,
light, carbonic acid etc.} as well as
natural and artificial massage are
employed.

MVIiLHEIM (POP.: 4,000. — HOT.:
Ilahnhof; Nene Post; Lowe) lies on the
slopes of the mountains, rather more
than a mile from the station. The sur-
rounding hills are covered wit'i vines

BADENWEILER is one of the
finest subalpine spas in Germany:
it lies in a charming spot, on the
north-western slopes of the Blauen.
Encircled by the magnificent hiUs
and pine-woods of the Black Forest,
its climate is remarkable for equability,
absence of local breezes and rarity
of bleak or of relaxing winds.

These climatic conditions , com-
bined with the thermal baths, make
this spa an excellent resort for
patients suffering from rheumatism,
goat, diabetes, diseases of the re-
spiratory organs &c., and adapt it
for convalescents and aged persons.
The baths are especially suitable in
cases of neurasthenia, amenorrhcea
and dysmenorrhoea.

Its chief building is the Pavilion
(Kurhaus) in a fine, well - timbered
park , containing remains of old
Roman baths. A flight of steps leads
up to the ruins of an ancient Castle
on a spot commanding a view of
the Rhine and the VoSges. Opposite

?08

the entrance to the park stands the
Grand Ducal Castle (16th cent.).

The Marmorhad is a fine edifice
in the style of a Roman bath.

EXCUBSIONS: Apart from the delight-
fat walks in the immediate nei$;h boar-
hood. (sQoh as throagh the Pfarrvrald,

the Alps, inclading Mout Blanc and the
Matrerhorn, comes into view.

T0E BEI.CHEN (Hot. k. Belelien)
is the finest point in th3 Black Forest.
Although the second in elevation (4,000
feet), the view obtained irom its summit
is grander than that from any of its
sister heights. At its foot lie the
valleys of the Wiesen, the Mdnster an^
the Bhine; westwards, in the distance,
are the Vosges Hts. ; to the S., the Jura,
backed by the snowy peaks of the Alps ;
while eastwards are the pine- clad peaks
of the nearer Black Forest.

being bleak: the springs, four in
number, are very useful in cases of
ansemia, debility and their conse-
quent disorders. They are all of
them chalybeate; but the Joseph-
quelle contains less iron and more
Glauber^s salts than the others, and
is well adapted for disturbances of
the digestive organs.

on the Black Forei»t Railway in the
very heart of the Forest.

Its fihe mountain climate and the
vicinity of the pine-woods render it
very suitable in cases of nervous com-
plaints and aflfections of the digestive
and bronchial organs; while the ex-
ceUent roads and hill-gradients adapt
it admirably for the application of
Professor Oertel's 'terrain kur' in cases
of heart-disease. Surrounded by huge
pine -clad hiPs, and possessing the
finest waterfall in Germany, it attracts
annually over 10,000 *kur* visitors
and some 50,000 tourists, a large
number of whom are Anglo-Saxons;
consequently, although the place is
so small, it possesses, besides its own
catholic and protestant churches, an
English place of worship.

grand cascades by the mighty granite
blocks which intercept its course.
The waterfall, as well as the town,
is illuminated every evening by elec-
tric light; while, on Sundays, Bengal
fire is employed to enhance the fan-
tastic effect.

The town possesses a band of 28
musicians, playing every week-evening
throughout the season. There is also
a tennis-lawn; and trout-fishing may
be had in the various streams.

FREUDENSTADT, the most elevated
town of Wurtembcrg, is situated on
a high plateau, and has been named
the ''Pearl of the Black Forest". It is
surrounded with enormous forests of
fir (16,000 acres) and bright green
meadows backed by the blue Swabian
Alps, prominent among which are the
Hohenzollern and the snow-capped
mountains of Switzerland. Owing to
the altitude and the vastness of the
forests, the air is exceptionally pure
and ozoniferous aqd, even at the
highest temperature, never still. The
extensive woodland walks in the im-
mediate neighbourhood are always
found to be dry. The most famous
of them is the Teuchelesweg with its
numerous seats, tables, shelters, its
clear springs and water-falls which
have obtained wide celebrity in the
fashionable world.

Freudenstadt is the chief starting-
point for the most famous B'acU
Forest excursions :—AIIerheilii»en, Wild-
see, Mummelsee, Bad Rippoldsau, the
Renchtal Spas, the Knzigtal, Kniebis,
Murgtal Sankenbach Waterfalls &c. It
is also unrivalled as a resort for nerve-
sufferers and for supplementary treat-
ment after visiting Carlsbad, Kissingen,
Nauheim, Neuenahr &c. The principal
ailments treated are: — nervous com-
plaints, affections of the heart, anaemia,
obesity And diabetes.

There are, in Freudenstadt, a
sanatorium for nervous complaints,
5 physicians, 2 pharmacies and a
hospital in modern style with medicinal
baths (electric baths, faradisation
&c.). Supplementary hereto is the
Bothner'sche Badeanstalt with vapour,
saline, pine-need e, mud and carbonic
acid baths. Moreover, there is a
handsome municipal light, air and sun
bath; while, beyond the villa district,
stand three woodland cafes.

contains 35 hotels & boarding-houses
and some 200 private flats. It has
an excellent water-supply, electric
works, and sewering; and the roads
are .regularly watered, — advantages
. which render it an international resort
much frequented by Americans.

Freudenstadt was founded in 1599
by Duke Frederick L, who settled
a number of protestant refugees here
'from Salzburg. It is built in the form
of a square, and is a wealthy industrial
town possessing 8,000 acres of timber.

The market place, with an area of
4Vi hectares, is surrounded with ar-
cades in Italian style, beneath which
there are elegant show-windows.

One of the most interesting build-
ings of the place is the Proiesiant
urch, — a curious structure wiih
naves placed at right angles and

tended respectively for the use of

en and women. The pulpit is situated
the junction of the two parts, so

» to enable the preacher to obtain

view of both his audiences at once;

bile they, themselves, are hidden

e one from the other. The church

contams a Komane?quc font (ll^h
cent.), a renowned crucifix, 26 richly
gilded reliefs with figures of biblical
characters, and some magnificent
carved choir- stalls.

The Catholic Church contains a
fine altar in Italian Renaissance. A
third church" is the Friedenskirche
of the Methodists.

High above the whole stands the
Herzog-Friedrichs Turm, a flagged
tower perched on the Kierberg (2,626
ft.) and visible for a great distance.

BlAck Forest X: From TITISEE via
FELDBERG to TODTNAU, SCHONAU,

ZELL Im WIESENTHAL,
SCHWEIGMATT. SCHOPFHEIM and

lOrrach.

There are verv various ways leading
from Titisee to Feldberg; but it is usual
to take the coach, which runs daily.

FELDBERG. -

Feldberg is the highest point in the
Black Forest, and indeed, with the ex-
ception of the Schneekoppe (5^0 feet),
the highest of the German Mittelgebirgen.
Its long and giant form, with its Ave
lateral oranches. determines clearly the
configuration of the southern half of
the Black Forest. The principal peaks
are Seebnck (4.758 feet), to the east,
Baldenweger Unck (4.798 feet), to the
north, and "Hochste" (4,9X0 feet'. On
the hrst of these' stands a Bismarck
Monument; while, on the last, there are
an outlook tower ("13 feet in height) and
a hotel called ^Zam Peldbergthnrai*'.
The cliff^d are, on all sides, precipitous,
and present us, as we traverse the
mountain ridge, with varying scenery
of a bold and rugged character. On the
northern slope ot the Feldberg and 985 ft.
below Seebuck, lies Feldsee, black with
the shadows of the surrounding cliffs.
It has a maximum depth of 106 feet, and
is fed by the Wutach, falling in mighty
cascades from the depression between
Seebuck and Baldenweger Buck. These
waters leave the lake on the east as
the Seebaeh. Three other streams, the
Alb) the IViese and the Dreisany also
have their sources on Feldberg.

The frlopes and spurs of the mountain
up to an altitude of 4,4H0 feet, are co-
vered with luxuriant undergrowth ; while
the bald summit commands a magni-
ficent view. In the foreground lies the
Black Forest with numerous valleys
and heights; sharp and rugged s:and
out the Kaue Alp and Hegauer Kegel;
beyond appears the long and picturesque
line of the Vosges, and in the distance,
the mighty Alpine groups, peak on peak
in sharp and serri«*d array, from the
Zngspitze to Mont Blanc.

in winter th« hotels are much fre-
quented by skiers.

The principal approaches to Feldberg
are the carriage roads from Titisee, Todt-
naui/W.& St. Blasien. Besides these, how-
ever, there are numerous delightful forest
1 oads, such as those coming from the vari-
ous stations of the Hollenthal Railway.

Moreover, the choice of excursions is
not less extensive, the favourite being
to Herzogenhorn, Spieshorn, Silberberg,
Schaoinsland, Belchen, and to the in-
dustrial towns or' Todtuau, Reman.
HenzenschiTand, St. Blasien, Titisee

B«ijig quite open to the S. & S.E , its
clitnate combines alt the advantages
of a forest and mountain retreat.

Besides the principal building, there are
a physician's residence, administrative
offices and an engine-house in the valley.

The chief structure consists of a five-
Jitoried main building, with patients'
roomSf and two wings containing re-
spectively the hydrotherapeutic rooms
&c.,and the offices, dining-hall & kitchen.

In this way the highly important
principle of separating all subsidiary
rooms from the others has been
strictly observed.

In front of the central building is the
resting pavilion, 80 metres long and
with two wings running out at an angle
to the south. Below the pavilion is a
promenade of the same length. In the
surroundmg grounds two more resting
pavilions have been erected. On the
ground-floor of the central building are
the elegantly furnished reception rooms,
concert -hail, drawing-room, library,
reading-room &c. — all of them facing
south. The physician's house contains
the doctors' private apartments and
fourteen rooms for patients. All the
upper floors consist exclusively of the
patients' bedrooms. Altogether, the sa-
natorium contains ninety-eight rooms,
not a single one of which faces north.

The establishment has its own supply
of spring- water, sewerage system wi:h
disinfecting apparatus, low-pressure
heating and electric light. The principle
of cleanhness and disinfection is strictly
enforced throughout. The walls are hung
half-way up with washable hygienic
paper: the floors are covered with lino-
leum; electric bells & telephone are flited
to all parts of the house; and the prin-

al building contains hydraulic lift.

[!he onrative treatment is stciotly in-

idnalistic, being based on the method
vised by Brobmer and Dettweiler and

proved by Turban. The head phy-
aan is Dr. Lips, formerly assiscnnt at

Lying at the junction of two
elevated valleys of the southern Black
Forest, with an excellent porphyiy
and granite subsoil, the place is soon
freed from snow and rain, especially
as its situation is a sunny one. These
characteristics, together with the pro-
tection afforded by the neighbouring
Peldberg, render it, even in May
and June, - exceedingly suitable for
patients suffering from complaints of
the nervous system or of the organs
of respiration or circulation.

The resort is surrounded by fine
sylvan scenery and grand hills. The
walks in the vicinity extend for several
miles, and are not only well-kept but
have a constantly varying gradient, and
are supplied with over 400 seats.
■/4 hr. suffices to reach points of view
commanding whole ranges of mountains
including the highest peaks of the Black
Forest. For 10 years the late Grand
Dnke of Baden and his consort honoured
the institute with their regular visits.
The neighbourhood offers first-rate
opportunities for shooting and trout-
fishing. Besides the Kurhaus, which
is open from 15th May till 1st October,
and has a fine fountain playing in
the grounds, the most noteworthy
buildings are the Hall of Industry
(Gewerbehalle), and the stately Church,
— the latter built by Ixnard in 1783
on the lines of the Pantheon at Rome.
The Church is a beautilul Barocco
building surmounted by a cupola and
now undergoing restoration.

ARMSTADT, the capital of the
id Duchy of Hessen, is a regularly
It place, with the principal railway-
Jon at one end, and Rosenhohe
ion at the other. Close by the
sr is a fine lake, called Woog,

into which the river Darm falls: the
lake also serves for bathing. In the
centre of the town stands the

Palace, a 16*h cent, edifice with
fine faQade, beautiful Renaissance porch
and elegant tower. The building con-
tains the Grand Ducal Library of
600,000 vol. and 4,000 MS5: in the
picture gallery are some fine paintings
by Rembrandt, van Dyck, Rubens &c. ;
while, in the upper story, there is an
archeeological museum.

To the S. of the palace stretches
the irregular Markt PI., embellished
with a fountain and surrounded with
several interestmg buildings. Here
stands the Rathaus, a Renaissance
structure erected in 1568. At Markt
Passage will be found the old palace,
where Queen Louise, consort of
Frederick William III., was brought up.

Adjoining the Markt PI. is Ernst
Ludwigs PI. in whose southern corner

819

risles the White Tovier, a remnant of
the medisB^al ramparts; while in the
centre there is a monument to the
Franco- Prus§iah War. ;

At the eastern end of Scbul St is
the jsretty !^eal Gymftasium With, close
by, the irregularly built Ludwig Georg
Gymnasium and the Technical- High
School. The building beyond, with the
high tower, is the "Old Gy,mnasium".

From here, Hugel St. leads to the

New Palace, built in 1862—65
from designs by Kriauss of Mayence.
It is a graceful structure in Italian
style, with a particularly good fa9ade
on the garden side. The interior
contains a marble stair- case, whose
walls are hung with Gobelins, a room
with handsome, carved ceiling and
very valuable tapestry (*Iphigenia'
and 'Admiral Coligny*), numerous
paintings &c. The grounds, which
were formerly the Botanical Garden,
are very beautifully laid-out.

Following Wilhelm SL southwards,
we reach the Palais of the late Prince
Carl. It is in Italian style, and the
situation, with its extensive view of
the Rhine, is very beautiful. The other
buildings of interest, such as the
Theatre, Museum and the OhiRathaus,
lie close to the Schloss: the Govern-
meni Building, and the Palais are in
Luisen St. The Herrengarfen, beyond
the Theatre, Mathilden Hohe and
Rosenhohe (Palais and MausoUnm)
are also worth visiting.

In the south of the town are the
Grand -Ducal Garden and the Grand-
Ducal Orangery.

The environs of Darmstadt are ex-
ceedingly beautiful, the country being
undulating and covered with woods of
various kinds. An extensive railway
system gives access to meuay places of
interest and renders the town an ad-
mirable centre for numerous charming
excursions.

STUTTGART is the capital of
Wiirtemberg and the residence of the
king, and vies with Leipsic as a centre
of the printing and publishing trades.
Moreover, both in situation and in
architecture, it ranks among the finest
towns in Germany. Its principal
buildings are the following: —

The Rcsidenz Schloss, standing close
to the fine broad street called KonigSt,
which runs for a length of over ^/^ of
a mile through the centre of the town.
The edifice is a fine specimen of the
Renaissance, erected 1746—1807. It
consists of a main building with two
wings, and is surmounted by an
enormous gilded crown. Its 360 odd
rooms contain some beautiful fres-
coes and a large number of paintings,
some fine statuary (Dannecker, Thor-
waldsen &c.) and a quantity of valu-
able porcelain. Near it is

The Old Schloss, a somewhat irre-
gularly built edifice, erected in 1553,
whose courtyard is embellished
with an equestrian statue of Count
Eberhardl im Bart the first Duke of
Wurtemberg. Close by is the Academy,
beyond which are the Royal Library
(500,000 volumes, 4,000 MSS.) and
the Record Office containing a col-
lection of minerals and palaeontological
antiquities. The building beyond is the
Konig Wilhelm Palais; while, passing
along Neckar St in the reverse direc-
tion, we reach

The Hnaeam of Arty which contains,

^Dg its statnes, a large bust of

ller by Dannecker, the celebrated
I sculptor: the locks are said to
) been chiselled off by the sonlptor
D£f a fit of insanity. The pictare
)ry is very extensive and valnable.
contains specimens of many varions
ols. Opposite the building htands the
9 behind which lies the beaatiful
OSS Qarten. Among other objects of
'est are the Memorial Coloniii of
r Willisny the Lisst Memorial in the
''^ Anlagen, statues of SehlUery

Btsroarek and Moltke, tbf* War Ofllec,
bt« Joiiannesklrelie and Marienklrelie.

In the environs, there are some beau-
tiful excursions, the favourite bfing to
the roval chAteau called Boseastela acd
to Wilh^lmsy a palace in Moresque style,
built for William I. in 1812. Moreover,
there is the beautiful Sobloss Oarten,
a splendid park with two fine lakes
and an extension stretching away to
Canrstatt, to which a bridc^e leads
across from the suburb ca'le<i Berg.

CAMlfSTATT (POP.: 25,000. —
H0T£L8t Stidtisehea Loglrhans; Tier
Jabresseiten) possesses some chalybeate
springs. Its 'Kursaal* and various private
therHPeutio establishments attract a
considerable number of health-seekers.
The place, however, assumes every
year a more marked manufacturing
character.

ULM.

POPULATION: 45,000.

BOTE L8 : Bnsslseher Hof ; MUnster Hot.

This ancient city lies on the Danube,
between Wtirtemberg and Bavaria, and
was once a free city, whose former im-
portance is still recognisable in the
character of its buildings and fortifica-
tions. These latter, however, have been
in recent years to a large extent de-
molished and modem forts ere -ted out-
side the old city.

Ulm's finest edifice is its celebrated

Minster, in the centre of the city. It
is a beautiful Qothic structure second
in sise to Cologne Cathedral only. The
foundations were laid in 1877, and the
building completed towards the close of
the 15th cent. The finest part is the tower
in the middle of the western facade: the
interior contains some beautiful paint-
ings, some excellent 16tlt cent, wood-
carving and an enormous organ, — the
largest in Germany. The church-tower
affords a magnificent view. Among other
important buildings are the W^ cent.
Bathsns, the so -called Xene Baa (1590),
the Indastrial Museum (Tauben Gasse),
the Weinhof and Trinity Church.

Some distance beyond Ulm, the rail
passes through the small but ancient
and inteiesting town of Biberach,
and reaches, about 15 miles further,
Anlendorf Jonetion. Twelve miles be-
yond, we stop at RATE NS BURG
(POP.: 4,000.— HOT.: Post), a very old
town surrounded with vine-clad hills,
and still possessing, in its ramparts and
towers, much of its mediaeval character.

FRIEDRICHSHAPEN.

POPULATION: 4,000.
HOTEL: Dentsehes Ilane.

This is a busy town situated on
the shores of the Lake of Constance
with a railway station at the harbour,
whence steamboats. run> several times
daily, to the various other towns
bordering the lake. The place c6n-
tains a collection of antiquities (many
of them prehistoric), which have been
gathered together by the Bodensee
Vercin. Moreover, in the Castle will
be found a number of- modern paint-
ings; while, froEH^Jiiedel Park, a good
view of the lake and the surrounding
districts is obtained.

Besides'the above- mentioned steam-
boat lines, there is now a railway al-
most encircling the lake. Among other
places to which it gkVes access is

LINDAU IM BODENSEE.

HOTEL: Bayerlscher Hof, I'tolass. op-

• poeite landing-place, terrace with pretty

view of lake, — the hotel is fitted for

snmmer avid winter residence and has

a good motor-car shed.

LINDAU, the terminus of the Ba-
varian State Railway, is charmingly
situated on an island in the Lalce of
Constance, with whose shore it is con-
nected by two bridges. The view of
the resort from either of these or from
the mainland is extremely picturesque;
while the panorama of the lake and
its surroundings is almost unrivalled.
Countless Alpine peaks rise one above
the other, the most striking summits
being the Pfander, the Gebhardt Mts.,
the Vorarlberg Range to the Rhine
Valley, the mighty and glaciered

Scesaplana and Santis; while down
the lake appear the romantic Hohen-
wiel and its satellites.

The town has also pre.seFved, in an
unusual; degree, its quaint, old-world
appearance. Several of its buildings
are of great interest, e. g., the vener-
able old Raihaus (dating back to the
15th cent.), the Reichsb 111 tt ft en 8cc,

Moreover, Lindau forms the nucleus
of vast international traffic, and is a
very suitable spot to stay at when
making lengthy Continental tours. It
is the junction of three railway lines,
which afford communication with
North Germany, Holland, Belgium,
France, Switzerland and Italy. The
Bodensu GiirUl Bahn referred -to
above establishes the connection
between Lindau and Friedrichshafen,
Ueberlingen, Radolfzell and Bale.
Direct steamer routes to Switzerland
enable passengers to proceed to Italy.
Ninety-six steamboats enter artd leave
Lindau Harbour daily; while, also.
daily, one hundred and twenty trains
cross the railway embankment (1,800
ft. long). Excellent fast and express
trains run between Lindau and Leipsic,
Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg; Lindau and
Stuttgart, Frankfort, Cologne, London;
Lindau and Schaffuausen, Bale (Tri-
berg, Strasburg), Paris; Lindau, Arl-

CONSTANCE was at one time a
free imperial city, but, after being
incorporated in Austria, became, in
1805, a town of the Duchy of Baden.
It is situated at the efflux of the
Rhine from the lake to which the
town has given its name, but which
is also called Bodensee. The place was
formerly the see of a bishop; and its

Cathidral still forms its most im-
portant edifice. It was founded in
1062, the original building having
been a cruciform basilica: this was,
however, completely remodelled in the
1 'th cent V- and during the middle of
the 19fch cent., its Gothic spire, with
fretted-work, was added from designs
by Hiibsch. From this tower a fine
view of the town and the lake is
obtained. The interior of the building
contains, in Ihe nave, a stone with
a white spot in the centre which
is said to remain dry while the sur*
rounding parts aiv^ damp, Huss having
stood on the spot when condemned
to death in 1415. The treasury, the
crypt, and a collection of antiquities
are all of interest.

INSEL-HOTEL.

THE MOST UNIQUE HOTEL IN EUROPE.

BI. BRVBTNEB, GENERAL MANAGER.

The Stadtkanzlei, built in Renais-
sance style, in 1593, possesses a
fa9ade embellished with frescoes by
Froschle and Wagner in 1 864 : it
contains the city archives and some
further frescoes in the second storey.

The Kaufhaus, erected in 1388,
possesses an enormous Sessions
Room supported by ten large wooden
pillars.

The Grand Ducal Gallery, 41
Wessenberg St. (open 9—12 & 2— 5)
contains a collection of paintings and
is the depository of the municipal
collection of prints.

The Rdsgarien Museum, 5 Ros-
garten St., possesses a collection of
r>rehistoric and antiquarian objects.

John Huss^s House, 64 Hussen St.

Between the Rhine Bridge and the
Stadtgarten lies an island known as
'The Isle**. It is reached by a bridge

from Eisenbahn St., and is remarkable
for its remains of an ancient church
now converted into a fine hotel fai
which the old relics have been well
preserved. The associations of the
island date back to the earliest times,
the spot having served as a Roman
bulwark against the Allemanni who
destroyed the Castle built as an out-
post in A. D. 292. A few years before,
St Pelagius had met martyrdom on the
spot ; and subsequenlly the German
tribes obliterated all traces of Roman
and Christian influence.

In the course of time Christianity,
which had slumbered in the sur-
rounding district, awoke to fresh
activ ty, and, after passing through
various vicissitudes, the island was
transferred by Bishop Henry I., in 1236,
to the Dominicans. These skilful
architects proceeded to erect a large

823

2i*'

and handsome church and convent
in the Transitional style. The main
parts of this edifice are still extant,
the nave and aisles having been con-
verted into a fine dining- hall; white
other parts have been left practically
untouched or have been merely re-
stored or beautified. Of these the
most remarkable are the Cloisters con-
sisting of stone-pillars, ogival arches
and graceful Romanesque columns.
A number of 17*h century frescoes,
with which it had been decorated,
have been removed and replaced by
a fine series of paintings, representing
episodes from the history of the is-
land and executed by Professor Carl
Haberlin of Stuttgart.

A porch, flanked by two beautiful
Transitional windows, gives access to
the refectory, remarkable for its an-
cient wainscoting and humorous in-
scriptions. Standing close to the
refectory and forming part of the
eastern front of the hotel is the small
but extremely interesting Huss Tower.

(For. the Lake oi CoDstance see
Switzerland).

The favourite exourcdon is to

Tbe Isle of ]lalnsa> a beantifal spot
iVs hours distant f^m Constance, and
connected with the mainland by a long
bridge. Its old castle was rebuilt by
the late Orand Duke of Baden; but
an ancient cross on its southern side
indicates that the island, which lies
like a gem in tbe green waters of
the lake, once belonged to an order of
German Chivalry.

This university town and favourite
health-resort ia beautifully situated at
the confluence of the Neekary the Stein-
baeh and tbe Ammer. The older parts
of the plaee are uninviting; but the

more modem districts are beautifully
laid-out; and the neighbourhood of the
Black Forest, with its delightful excur-
sions and fine hills and vIewSi renders
the town ver;^ attractive. Moreover^
many of its buildings possess consider-
able historical and artistic interest. In
the Stlftsklrche^ there are some good
stained-glass and a number of monu-
mental tombs. Among the latter is that
of Count Eberhard, (1406), the foander of
the University. This last is situated
near the church, and is celebrated for
its eonneotion with Melancbthou: it ia
also famous for its chairs of theology
and medicine, and possesses some gO)a
oollectioriS and a number of interesting
and valuable pictures, including a Cor-
regglo and a MarilJo.

Near Neckar Bridge is Uhland's
House, where the poet died in 1862:
his remains are interred in the
churchyard, the spot being marked
with a granite stone. A monument
to him has been erected near the
station.

The Rathaus is a 15th cent, building,
restored in 1877. A road leads from
here up to Schloss Hohentubitfgen,
high above the town. It was erecied
in 1535 by DuTie Vlrich, being a
Renaissance structure with a richly-
ornamented porch, and containing
a Library, an Observatory, and a
Dungeon with a deep well and an
enormous tun. From the ramparts
behind the castle a beautiful view
is obtained ; while other spots in
the vicinity also offer delightful pro-
spects of the Black Forest and the
Suabian Alps.

At the Market Place stands, perhaps,
the most beautiful of Wurzburg's

a Gothic building containmg many
tombs and statues. It was begun in
.A. D. 1377 and completed in A. D.
1479, the top of the delicate spire,
which is visible for a great distance,
having been restored from designs
by Reuss in 1856. The figures of
Christ and John Baptist on the but-
tresses are by Riemenschneider. On
the other side of the Market Place,
will be seen the Old Raihaus, built
in the 1 2th and 15th centuries- and
possessing an imposing early -Barocco

Springs and equable climate have
rendered it the leading spa in Bavaria
and, indeed, one of the most cele-
brated in Europe.

It contains sev^eral springs with a
very high yield and of a remarkably
effective character.

THE WATERS AS A BEVERAQE.-
Kissingen possesses four drinking foun-
tains, namely, the Rakoczy, the Patt^ur^
the Maxbrnnnen and Booklet Stahl-
hruunen: while Kissifiger Bitter^
fvasser and the Soles prudel are also
in use.

THE WATERS AS BATHS.- One
of the above, the Pandur, is also use J
for bathing; but there are two special
springs for this purpose, namely: —
the Salinensprudel^ delivering, per
minute, 550 litres of salt and 2000 to
6000 litres of carbonic acid ; and the
Schonborfisprudelf delivering, p6r mi-

nute, 600 litres of salt and 4000 to
6000 litres of carbonic .«cid.
.CHIEF GONSTITDENTS.- The Kis-
singen waters contain, as their chief
active principle, "sodium chloride and
carbonic acid, the proportion, both in
the drinking fountains and in the
bathing springs, being exceptionally,
favourable. A litre of the former yields
•2— -50/0 and of the latter \% of salt
and no less than 1350 to 1600 cubic
centimetres of carbonic-acid gas. Their
value is also enhanced by the posses-
son of other chemical substances such
as purgative salts, carbonate of iron
protoxide, lithium etc.

TREATMENT.- Besides the drink-
ing and bathing mentioned above, there
are "Moor''-baths from the Rhon peat-
beds; Fango-treatment, air and sun
baths; a graduating house with 13'^ing-
out halls and covered colonnades.

INDICATIONS.— For some hundreds
of years the Kissingen treatment has
been recognized by the faculty as
exceptionally effective in curing the
following complaints: — affections of
the stomach and intestines, the respi-
ratory organs, the heart and nerves;
as well as gout, sciatica, rheumatism,
diseases of the liver and kidneys,
chlorosis, female disorders &c.
' ESTABLISHMENTS.- These are of
a magnificent character, and are fitted
with the most perfect appliances. The
two principal are the Salinenbad
and the Prinzrcgent Luifpoldbad.
The former was remodelled in 1903
and fitted with ''Wellenbader'* and
every other comfort. The latter

was greatly extended in 1905/06 and
is now probably the largest of its
kind on the Continent. It has separate
departments for ladies and gentlemen,
with upwards of 250 saline, **Wellen"
and "Moor'* baths &c. as well as
a department with graduated baths
containing carbonic-acid and sodium
chloride in various proportions. It
has a lounge for use after bathing;
and each department is fitted with
a separate lift.

Attached to the building, there U
a new "Moor'* -Bath Establishment in
Roman style. It contains 25 baths
with numerous dressing-rooms and
lounges, and includes the department
for Fango- treatment.

Besides the above institutes, there
are also numerous sanatoriums for
complaints of the stomach and intes-
tines, disturbances of metabolism
and nervous affections.

ROTHENBURG, a very interesting
old town of Franconia, is situated
on the edge of a high chalk-plateau
(1,396 feet), which slopes sharply
towards the Tauber.

The position of the town and
its admirable sanitation render it
exceptionally salubrious; though the
great attraction of the place con-
sists in its having preserved, in so
remarkable a degree, its mediaeval
character.

Quaint towers, Gothic churches,
Renaissance halls and well-preserv-
ed ramparts present a picture
that carries the mind forcibly back
to the days of chivalry and knight-
hood.

On approaching the town from
the station, we pass through Roder
Thor, which, like the other five
principal gates, gives direct access
to the Market Place, in the centre
of the town.

FIRST-CLASS WITH FINE VIEW. EVERY COMFORT.
ODE RATE TERMS. J. A. PLOSS, Prap.

The western side of this square is
occupied by the Rathaus» «n. imposing
edifice in two parts, respectively Re-
naissance and Gothic. The former
(begun in 1572) faces the Markt PI*,
and possesses a magnificent colon-
nade, gable &c.: the latter is a,, fine
specimen "of early-Gothic ( 1 240) and
has an exceedingly fine belfry-tower,
and an interesting but weather-beaten
doorway.

A little to the north stands the
finest of Rothenburg's eight churches,
namely, St. James:' Church, a beau-
tiful specimen of Gothic architecture,
which, though begun as early as
1373 and completed in 1436, is
Perpendicular in style. Its two
towers are each 175 ft, high, but
the northern one is much more elegant
than its companion.

The interior contains numerous
beautiful carvings, especially on the
columns, as well as three altars, of
which the high-altar, with its fine
screen and back-ground of stained-
glass windows, produces a very ele-
vating impression.

Another interesting church is the
Franziskatterkirche in Herren Gasse
near Burg Gate. The building, to-
gether with the neighbouring cloisters,
was completed in 1282, being an
early-Gothic structure of very pure
and severe type.

The preservation of its ancient
walls and buildings, Rothenburg owes,
in large part, to the Burgomaster
who by a mighty draught of wine
redeemed the town from Tilly.

Some of the best pieces of the
old town- wall are to be seen at
Klingen and Cobolzeller Gates, near
the former of which is the old
dungeon-tower.

But visitors are warmly recom-
mended to take a walk rotmd the

copal chair of stone, an altar-piece
by Holbein the elder and some 11*^

edifice containing busts of the Roman
Emperors, one of the late Emperor
Frederick &c. In the second story,

MUNICH is Che capital of the
Ktrrgdoin o( Bavafwh and -a fine okl
city with a pop* of over 538.000,
the larger pniportion of whom are
Roman CalhoUci^. It was founded^
prabably, at the close of the 11*^
centi and was surrounded with a
wall and raise^J to the status of
u town by Henry the Lion, in 1164.
Visited by a severe conflagrbtion in
the year 1327, it was rebuilt and
extended by the Emperor Ludwig
the Bavarian. An important epoch
in the development of the place
followed , Itafian workmen being
introduced to assist in the erection

of a Library, Treasury, Picture Gal-
lery and other important ' buildings.
Some 200 years feler, -the Elector
Maximilian added it ^niagnificent pa-
lace, which still forms- , part of the
present building: thd saipe monarch
embellished the place with bronze
monuments, erected the. Joseph, and
Herzog Spita^, and fortified the
new walls and ramparts. Indeed,
the rulers of Bavaria have spared
neither pains nor expense to render
their capital both beautiful and at-
tractive; and, during the reigns of
Maximilian Joseph I. and his son
Ludwig L (1825—1848), the place

containing a beautiful apartment em-
bellished with pictures by Kaulbach.
On Promenade PI., wh-ch we now

the centre of the modem city and
|he nucleus of its traffic. In the

middle or the square, there is a statue
of hfaximilian Joseph /. in a sitting
posture, designed by the celebrated
Rauch. Behind the statue rises the
Hof and National Theater, a hand-

with an auditorium capable of seat-
ing 2,400 persons; and the interior
of which is excellently appointed.

with some fine stone - carving. Ad-
jacent hereto is the

Hof' und StaatS'Bibliothek (Court
and State Library): it is an imposing
building in Florentine style, possessing
a handsome facade and a fine flight of
steps embellished with statues of
Thucydides, Homer, Aristotle and
Hypocrates. The Library, which was
founded by Duke Albert V., is one of
the most celebrated in Europe, and con-
tains, in its 77 rooms, over 1,300,000
vols, dnd more than 30,000 MSS.
The building in which it is lodged
was erected under King Ludwig L
from designs by Gartner. A few
steps further, and on the same side
of the way, is

Ludwigskirchc, likewise designed
by Gartner: it is in Italian style, and the
porch is embellished with statues of
the four Evangelists by Schwanthaler.
The interior contains a celebrated
fresco of the Day of Judgement: it
is the most important of Cornelius'
pictures (cf. Diisseldorf); while the
other paintings in the building are

also from his designs. Opposite is
another of Gartner's erections, namely,
the Institute for the Blind,

A few paces further, we reach a
square containing two fountains: the
buildings on our right are the Clerical
Seminary and a Reformatory, The
other side of the square is occupied
by the University, which, founded
at Ingolstadt in 1472, was after-
wards transferred to Landshut and,
finally, in 1826, to Munich. Its
present lodgment was built in 1838,
and is another of Gartner's erections:
its library, in the 2iid storey, contains
over 300,000 volumes. The street
ends, nominally, at ^

Sieges Thor, a handsome gateway
erected under King Ludwig I., and
dedicated by him to the Bavarian
Army. It divides Munich from the
suburb of Schwabing, and, of course,
faces towards the latter. Its architect
was Gartner; while the group of
lions with 'Bavaria', is by Wagner.

which have been reproduced, by 14
artists, some beautiful copies of cele-

is the Picture Gallery, which con-
sists of a large number of modem
paintings chiefly by Munich masters
of the 18th and 19*h centuries: in
the vestibule, for instance, are Kaul-
bach's portraits of King Ludwig L
and King Maximilian II., and a likeness
of Prince Regent Luitpold by Holm-

mentary to that in the Glyptothek
(see below). On the other side of
Theresien St, an entrance will be
found leading to the Old Pinakothek.
The AUe Pinakoihek is a fine
Renaissance edifice erected by Klenze
in 1836 for the reception of the
extensive collections of old master-
pieces which had been gathered to-
gether by the Elector Karl Theodor.
The rooms are numbered from £.
to W., and contain, in the eastern
wing, the salon of the founder and
of the Cologne and Rhenish Schools;
in room No. 3, the High -German
School; No. 4 Dutch; No. 5 Flemish;

No. 6 Rubens; No. 7 Flemish (con-
tinued); No. 8 Italian; No. 9 Venetian;
No. 10 (west wing) Italian; No. 11
Spanish; No. 12 French. The col-
lection is very extensive, and in-
cludes over 1,400 paintings. Besides
these, there runs along the S. side
a colonnade named the Loggien des
Cornelius, so-called from its being
decorated with a series of frescoes
executed by Zimmermann from designs
by the great Dusseldorf artist. These
frescoes represent the growth of art
in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands
and France during the middle-ages.

BAMBERG, the residence of the
Bavarian heir- apparent, Prince Rup-
recht, is an interesting old city situated
on two arms of the Regnitz, a few miles
from its junction with the Main.

Approaching the city from the rail-
way station, few buildings of interest
are past till one has got beyond the first
arm of the river. Crossing this by Lud-
wig's Bridge, we soon find ourselves
at Maximilian PI., a square embellished
with a fountain bearing statues of
various historical personages.

Following the street called Gruner
Markt, we come to St. Martin's Church,
a 17th cent. Barocco edifice with an
enormous dome. Surrounding it, there
are several public buildings, of which
the most noteworthy is the Royal
Library, containing 300,000 vols,
and upwards of 3,000 MSS. with the
so-called Alcuin*s Bible &c.

Proceeding to the other arm of the
Regnitz, we notice a double bridge
enclosiDg the Raihaus, The building,
which is erected upon an artificial
island, dates, in its present form, from
the middle of the IS^h cent.

About a furlong beyond the bridge
rises

"he Cathedral, one of the finest
lanesque edifices in Germany,
I four handsome towers. The
tnal building was erected by the
»eror Henry II., in A. D. 1004,
having been almost completely
royed by fire, it was rebuilt by
op Otto in 1115. It contains
umber of interesting tombs, in-
' the sarcophagus of its founder.

in the nave, and that of pope
Clement II., in the crypt; the trea-
sury, with several reliquaries, and
St. Antony's Chapel are worth seeing.
Near the cathedral are situated
several other important buildings,
such as the Episcopal Palace and
the Old Royal Palace, the latter a
gabled building with beautiful porch
and extensive courtyard. Beyond
it stands the New Palace whence
Napoleon issued his declaration of
war against Prussia in 1806.

A little to the west is St James*
Church, a Romanesque basilica ~ of
the lltb century, with Gothic and
Barocco additions.

On a hill to the north rises St.HlebMPs
Church* a similar building to St. James'
bat of somewhat later date. Its towers, to-
gether with the neiffhbouring Benedictine
Abbey, are visible tor a long tiistance-

The church contains nanoerous inter-
esting objects, most of them transferred
from the cathedral. In the adjoining
cloisters is the Citf Pietare Gallery, with
several paintings of the Old German,
Italian, Spanish and other schools.

To the south of the cathedral is
situated the Chareh of Oar Lady, best
reached from the Bathaus tbrouorh
Kaalberg St. The building, originally
14th cent. Gothic, has been greatly mo-
dified at Tarious periods.

Bamberg is a hilly place, and the
walks in the vicinity are very pretty.
Some of the most attractive are up Kaal-
berg HtU and to Altesbarg Baiss and
Theresian Haln; while more distant exr
onrsions are to Bans & Tlersehsheiligen
(see Lichtenfels route 88 A).

ERIiANGEUr (POP.: 28,000. - HOT.:
Sehwan; Blane Oloeke) was fonnded by
Huguenot refugees after the edict of
Nantes. The place has, for its size, a
considerable industry; and its beers are
among the most celebrated in Germany.

There are but few edifices of impor-
tance in the town. Two only call for
special mention, namely, the University
and the Palace. The UniTersityy which
is renowned for its chairs of medicine
and theology, dates from 1748, aad con-
sists of an extensive group of buildings
clustering around the Palace Garden.

The Palaee contains a library of
180,000 vols., together with a collection
of 15 th and 16th century sketches by
Dutch, Flemish and German masters.

NUREMBERG is an exceedingly
interesting city, whose inhabitants are
busily engaged in the manufacture of
toys, fancy- articles, leather, iron- ware,
machinery, beer &c. In point of siae,
it is the second town in Bavaria; while,
commercially, it is the most important

Elace in South Germany and the chief
op-market on the Continent.
Moreover, it possesses, for the tourist,
great attractions. Founded some time
prior to the nti> century, and first
mentioned as Nonremberc in an act
of the year 1050, it was built, in the
main, during the Gothic Sc Benaissanoe
periods, its churches belonging mostly
to the former, and its private bnildi
combining both styles. Its most renowi
adorners were the sculptors Adam Kri
(t 1607) and Veit Stoss (f 1682), and
brass - founder Peter Visoher (f IE
who. together with the immortal paii
Albert Dttrer (f 1628), gave to Nuremb
its important position among the
centres of Europe in the middle • a|

peii^j^iDiie as an impanitl cityjiiid became
locorporated in Bavaria ia iSUti.

Prom that time onwards its growth
has been very rapid, the population
having increased nearly tenfold. Never-
theless» its old buildings have remamed
almost intact and it is quite the qOaintest
town in Germany; while, in order to
preserve that unity of medieeval aspect
for which it is so remarkable, the
municipal surveyors insist upon all new
erections being designed in keeping
with the elder structures.

Through the centre of the city flows
the many-bridged Pegnitz; and round
the older districts runs a well-preserved
wall with several towers. The principal
buildings are the following, namely: —

Si. Lorenzhirche, at the further end
of Konigs St from Frauen Tlior : it is
the finest church in the town, being
a beautiful Gothic building dating beck
to the 13th cent The most striking
points of the exterior are the western
fa9ade and its porch with a splendid
rose • window above it: the interior
contains some magnificent stained-
glass and interesting works of art of
the 15th and 16th centuries including
the so-called pyramid (designed and
executed by Adam Krafft), some
wood-carving by Veit Stoss and a
candelabra by Peter Vischer.

Close by the church is the Tug end

original design (Wurzelbauer, 1589).

3 Konigs St., near the bridge, is
the Bayrische Gewerbe- Museum (in-
dustrial museum). Crossing the bridge,
we reach the Marienkirche, or Church
of our Lady, a beautiful 14th cent,
edifice, with a very rich interior and
"teresting clockwork (1506). Atone
rner of the church is a fountain
led 'Ganseniannchen', designed by
icher's pupil Labenwolf and repre-
iting the figure of a man carrying
> geese; while hard by, at 9 Hans
'hsen Gasse, is the dwelling-house
the cobbler- poet Hans Sachs. In
It of the church is the 'Schoner

it is a beautiful creation, with figures
representing Charlemagne, Gottfried of
Bouillon and Clod wig (Christian heroes);
Judas Maccabdeus, Joshua & David (old
testament), and Caesar, Alexander and
Hector (profane) : a second tier of figures
represents Moses and the prophets.

Beyond the fountain rises the Rat'
haus, a building in Italian Renaissance
style erected at the opening of the 1 7th
cent. It is an imposing edifice with a
fine hall containing a panelled ceiling,
frescoes from designs by Diirer, and
stained-glass by Hirschvogel.

exceedingly fine specimen of decorated
Gothic. The interior of the building
contains reliefs by Stoss, frescoes by
Hans von Kulmbaeh, some painted glass
by Hirschvogel, and Peter Vischcr's
master-piece, the Sebaldus Tomb.

Hard by is the Palace of Justice,
with a fine 8tair*case and a sessions-
room containing Feuerbach's picture
of 'Justice*.

Beyond the Sebalduskirche is St
Morttzkapelle, a beautiful Gothic
structure, adjoining which is the cele-
brated Bratwurst - Glockleini whither,
at the ringing of a bell outside the
building, the artists flock and are
silently served with sausages.

At the corner of Burg St &Theresien

St., is the Municipal Library^ con-
taining 70,000 vols, and 2,000 MSS.

To the north of Sebalduskii che

restored in 1854. Near it is the so-
called Heidenthurm, with the choirs
of two chapels superposed one upon

The town stands on the Danube and is
strongly fortified. In 163i Tilly, mortally
wounded at Burgheim, retired hither
before the armies of Gustavus Adolphus,
and entrenched himself for a severe siese.
The fortifications, having been razed by

BATISBON (Begensburg) is an an-
cient city situated on the Denube at
the confluence of the Begen.

The town, which, like moat others in
the district, dates back to Bomaia times,
contains many ancient and bea,ntiful
buildings. The principal are the fo k low-
ing, namely:—

The Cathedral — not far from the head
of the stone-bridge — is a Qotbic ediBQe^
with an interior resembling thtit of Stras-
burg Minster. The erection of the mriin
building occupied over SSOyearfl (liJ75 —
1684); while the towers remained inr-^,-
plate till 1860. The western facade b s
splendid porch with a curious tliree'e] 1
vestibule. The choir has been kept so
what plain; but the number of nnc t
tombs, the altars &c render the iii'^ r
interesting. Behind the cathedral

St. Ulrletasklrehe, a I8th oeat i
ture containing a museum of Boi a
and prehistoric antiquities. Weetv- ■

fafade dates back to the I4th cent,
the remainder of the building having
been erected between 1660 and 1721.
It contains a Reichssaal, in which,
during the i6th and 17th cent, the
German Reichstag held its sessions:
the walls of the apartment are hung
with fine gobelins; while the other
rooms are also interesting. Still
further W., between Arnulf PI. and
Bismarck PI., stands the Theatre.
In the latter square, near . Jacob's
Thor, will be found the so • called
SchoUenkirche, a i2th cent. Roman-
esque basilica: it possesses a cele-
brated porch embellished with the gro-
tesque stone-carvings so characteristic
of this style of architecture, but here,
in a highly developed form. Hard
by are the churches of iS^. Dominic
and Holy Trinity, In the S. of the
town, not far from the station, is the
monastery of St Emmeram, one of
the oldest in Germany and containing
a large number of relics, carvings and
tombs. Adjoining it is the palace of
the Princes of Thum and Taxis. A
little to the N. B. is an I Ith cent,
h— Mica church called Obermiinster,
4 aining tombs and frescoes. Quite
< 3 to the station^ and in the gardens
di replace the old fortifications,
e is a 1 3th cent, column called the
ligersaule. The city contains an
)st inexhaustible number of sights:
for lovers of the purely beautiful,
t from historical associations, the
, ^«!St attraction is the

jHALLA. Am its name impliea,

it is intended as the "Tempel Dentseher
Ehren'*; although, traly, the title is a
misnomer, since the Walhalla is rather
Scandinavian than German. MoreoTer,the
style of the buildinff, however handsome,
is scarcely adaptea for the purpose for
which it was designed: it is, namely, a
most exact imitation of the Parthenon,
with a symbolio representation of Her-
mann's Schlaoht (or. Detmold route 10)
by Sohwanthaler. The interior is even
finer than the exterior, and contains a
large number of statnes and busts of
celebrated Germans, among them six
prodii(*tion8 of Ranch's.

KELHEIM (POP.t i,O0a — HOT.:
Ehrenttaaller) is a favourite excursion
spot with ancient walls and towers. The
surrounding countrv is extremely pictur-
esque. On the neighbouring Michaels-
berg stands the Befreiungshalle. This is
a handsome and remarkable strnctore
commemorating the Battle ot Leipsic
(see route 10). Begun under Ludwig I.,
it was opened on the ISth Oct 1868, the
jubilee day of the great battle. This
date has been taken as the typical
number in many points of the bnilaing,
such as the 18 Teutonic ▼irgins borne
by the enormous buttresses that sur*
round the temple.

STARNBERG is a well-built resort
at the northern end of the lake of the
same name, and is much frequented
by tourists and others. It possesses
a handsome bathing and swimming
institute, whence a 15 minutes' walk
through a beautiful avenue of lime-
trees brings us to Prinz Karl's Palace,
on an elevation affording, an incom-
parable view of the lake with its sur-
rounding mountains and mansions.

One of the favourite excursions is to

Schloss Ber^ on the eastern bank,
where a Romanesque chapel has been
built in memory of King Ludwig II. —
drowned in the lake ou the l3t>> June
18S6. Close to the chapel a memorial
column marks the spot where the terrible
tragedy occurred.

as well as by those in want of rest
and recreation.

Indeed, it is a nice, romantic retreat
at any period of the year, both the
faculty and the public agreeing upon
the admirable and healthy situation
of the place. Free from dust and
bacteria, it offers delightful oppor-
tunities for walks on good and hilly
roads.

The greatest attraction for the tourist
is, of course, the Zngspitze, the higbest
summit in the German Alps. It hns a
lieight of 0711 feet. A guide shouM be
taken (17 mks.), as the way is a diiilcult
one, especiftlly for persons liable to

place occupies a delightful
,vn in the valiey of the Loisach,
e it opens out to receive the
- h and the Kanker. The broad

green valley, with its luscious meadows
and fertile fields, lies at an elevation
of 2,298 feet, and is surrounded by
fine, wooded heights beyond which
tower up the snowcapt tops of the
Bavarian Alps. Noticeable among these
last are Wettersteinwand d Dreithor-
spitze to the left, and the beautiful
Alpspitze tc5 the right, adjoining which
appear the peaks of the Hollenlhal
Range, the rugged Riffelwdnde and
the precipitous Zugspitze,

The Alpine climate is exceedingly
beneficial, especially in cases of chronic
catarrh, neurasthenia, heart - disease
and the early stages of consumption.
Garmisch is particularly recommended
to persons who have undergone
treatment at such spas as Kissingen,
Carlsbad, Ems, Wiesbaden &c.

A short distance to the S. of Garmisch
and on the slopes of Biesser Kopf lies
BIESSEH8EE, a mountain-resort whose
hotel, Biessersee (open the whole year),
stands in a fine o^en spot with a delight'
tul frarden and a^ijoining forest. The view
of the mountains and lake is superb;
indeed, it is one of the most beautiful
situations in the Histrii t. The cuisine of
the hotel is excellent^ and there is ample
opportunity for boatmg and fishing.

EXCURSIONS: Garmisch is a centre
for innumerable excursions and ascents,
of which only the most celebrated can
be mentioned here: —

(1) PaTtnschklamm (IVs hours) is one
of the finest ravines in Europe: it is a
perfectly safe tour, and those who are
not liable to giddiness should proceed

place still famous for its violinn,
zithers and other stringed instruments,
the manufacture of which forms the
staple industry of the little town.

It lies in the elevated valley of the
Isar and at the foot of the stupendous

Karwendel and the rugged Wettersteln.
This fine situation, coupled with a mild
ozoniferous and dustless atmosphere,
has rendered it also a very favourite
resort, not only of tourists but also
of health • seekers. The place is
especially suitable for persons suffer-
ing from emphysema, bronchial catarrh,
neurasthenia and general debility. It
is also very suitable for tuberculosis
in early but not in advanced stages,
as well as for heart troubles not
developed to organic disease.

Like its neighbour QraswAng, it possesses
high-pressure water supply and more-
over has omnibuses running twice daily

through the magnificent Graswang
Valley brings us to

SCHIiOSS lilNDEBHOF (Schloss
Hotel), the first of the celebrated Royal
C<> sties. It is a fine edifice in Bococo

respect, the building shows the charac-
teristics of the morarcb, Ludwig II.,
lor whom it was erected: the interior
displayd a magnificence of ornament
and a wealth of colour and gold which
render it too ornate for the taste of
many beholderii.

TEGERNSEE, once a famous
Benedictine monastery, is now a well-
known climatic resort bituated at a
great elevation among the Alps of
Upper Bavaria, and on the borders
of the lake which bears its, name.
This beautiful sheet of water, with
a length of 5.7 km. and a breadth of
2 km., is fed by numerous small becks
and has its effluence at MangfalL
Enclosed to the north, the east and
the west by green meadows and
wooded heights and to the south by
mountains of considerable elevation,
it unites a soft rural beauty with the
grandeur of an alpine landscape, and is
justly considered to be one of the love-
liest spots in the Bavarian Highlands
and one that will well bear comparison
with the most celebrated lakes of
Switzerland. Anyone who, having left
the woods on the height above Gmund.
sees the lake for the first time spread
out before him in all its beauty, will
reaJily admit the justness of this claim.

Owing to its charming location,
Tegernsee has become a much fre-
quented health-resort, and counts
among its visitors persons of the
highest rank. The old monastery is
now the residence of H. R. H. Duke
CarlTheodor the famous philanthropist
and oculist. A few years since, the
German Empress stayed here for a
long time with her children and
repeatedly expressed herself in the
warmest terms of the resort and its
surroundings. In the year 1905 the
Oerman Crown Prince and his consort
spent three weeks here. Her highness

the Duchess Marie of Saie-Coburg-
Gotha resides here every summer at
her castle named Seng er^ch loss where
she is visited by her Russian , Eng f ish and
Roumanian relatives. Morqovcr.Tegern*
see is the seat of numerous members
of German and foreign aristocracy.

The place is admirably managed, and
great care and attention are paid to its
sanitation. On the borders of the lake
there are excellent ist and Liini da^^s
hotels, beautiful cafes and conditorcis
with a large selection of newspapers;
these and comfortable private lojgings
enhance the agreeableness of Che resort.

Tegernsee possesses no peculiar
curative remedies; but its two admir-
ably appointed bathing establishments
offer ample opportunity, not only for
lake-bathing, but also for hydropathic
treatment. In the baths, use is made
of pine-needles, mother- lye, sodium
chloride, sulphur & mud. At Schwaig*
hof, 15 min. distant, there is a special
sulphur bath for chronic diseases of
the skin and joints.

Owing to its mild mountain- climate,
its pure, bracing atmosphere^ its de-
lightful woods and its refre&hmg lake,
Tegernsee is a resort of the first
rank, which is particularly suitabk^ for
convalescents and for po^t-trealment
after visiting Carlsbad, Kissing en &c.
Tegernsee is, on account of its
'*terrains", one of the leading resorts
of the Bavarian Alps for all kinds of
winter sports and games. Hotels and
private apartments are well-arranged
for summer and winter season. Direct
trains from Munich to Tegernsee,

The Cathedral, the date of whose
foundation is unknown: but, in the
15<h oent., it was rebuilt in Gothic style.
This building was destroyed by fire in
the 17th cent and replaced by a Baroooo
edifice, which is one of the finest spe-
cimens of its kind, and contains several
beautiful chapels and an excellent organ.
On the square in front of it, there is a
statue of Maximilian Joseph I A short
distance from here is the Church of 8t.

REICHENHALL, with its saline
springs, is doubtless the largest
climatic health - resort in Germany ;
the annual number of patients being
about 11,000, while a similar number
of visitors who do not take the
waters are found here every year.
The spa lies on the perfectly level
floor of a valley among the Alps of
Southern Bavaria, and at an elevation
of over 1,500 feet. Dolomite moun-
tains, rising to a height of between
6,000 and 7,000 feet, enclose the
plain, and render the climate of the
spa mild but invigorating.

The spa, which has a mean tempera-
ture of 8'42*^C., is especially adapted for
affections of the heart, throat and chest ;
but patients of all kinds find relief here.

The treatment which is of an ex-
ceedmgly varied character, falls under
.hrfte heads, namely: — Terrainkur;

Bathing, Inhalation and Pneumatic
Chambers; and Trinkkur.

Hofknr Anstalt ^Dianabad' is an old
and very extensive concern, situated in
the centre of the spa and snrronnded
by large and beautifal gronnds; it pos-
sesses powerful machinery and is fitted
with the latest sppliances, including
pneumatic cabinets, inhalation room and
bathing apparatus.

Above the town rises the old Castle
of Gmtteiistelii, while 1 he neighbouring
heights afford opportunities for making
charming excursions.

some 12tb cenr. carving. From the royal
villa, a fine prospect is obtained. The
district is nob in fine srenery; and the
place is much frequented as a summer
and health resort. One of the most
beautiful excursions is to the Loekstela
(V2 br.), whence one obtains a splendid
view of the Berohtesgad en Valley. But the
great;, attraction of the neighbourhood
is KONIGSEIS, a lake about 4 iriles in
length and 1 mile iu breadth : it is con-
sidered the loveliest lake in Qermany
or Austria, and is celebrated for the
beautiful deep-srreen rolour of its water.

END OF SECTION OP GERMANY".

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

AQstriA was originally a small dake-
./A dom which ^rew out of that of
Bavaria, at the close of the 12^1^ cent.
Angmented hy the addition of Styria,
it came under the rule of the House of
Hapsburg, who raised it to the status
of a kingdom towards the close of the
14th cent. This dynastjr, under whose
sceptre it has ever since remahied,
won for the country, by con<4ueBt and
marriage, a leading position among the
European powers, Indeed, during the
period when its monarchs were also
Emperors of Germany, it was, perhaps,
the mightiest state in Europe. ButL alter
the reformation, a decline gradually set
in, and. with the domination of Napoleon
in 1H05, the existence of the old German
Empire came to an end. In the follow-
ing year, Franz XL adopted the title of
Emperor of Austria (cf. Introduction to
Germany). Till 18ti6, no change of im-
portance took place; but then, during
the great conflict with Prussia, it lost
its Italian provinces of Lombardy and
lice, a loss which, territorially, has
e been compensated - for by the
aisition of Bosnia and Heraegovina.
these states, like most of the others
sli go to make up the Empire, are
r under the dominion of the reigning
Deror and are quite independent in
internal questions,
he Em I ire is a limited monarchy
1 a Beiehsrat (diet) ior the conduct
A\ imperial matters, each individual
» having a separate Laadtag for

the conduct of home affairs. 'These
states (some of which are styled king-
doms, some of them duchies) are al-
most as numerous a« the various races
which form the population. The princi-
pal of them are:— Upper and Lower
Austria, Styria and Tyrol (all of them
German), Bohemia lTdchechi8ch\Galicia,
Moravia, Bosnia, Dalmatia and Hungary.
The Jaat of these is by far the largest
in point of extent and popalation,
though, politically and commercially,
the Kingdom of Austria is still the
most important member of this many-
tongued emnire.

It should be o' early remembered
that, in race, language and social
interests, Hungary is quite distinct from
Austria; and, German being by no
means commonly known, a slight know-
ledge of Magyar on the part of the
traveller is not undesirable^

Weights and Measures: The decimal
system is employed: (see Tables of
Measures & Introduction to Germany).

Honey t The decimal system is like-
wise in use for the coinage; the standard
is a Krone = 100 Heller. The coins are:—
Goldx twenty Kronen -piece and ten
Kronen - piece ; Silver : Kronen - piece.

The Kreuzherrenkirche is an imi-
tation of St Peter's at Rome. Near
it is a monument to Charles IV. The
yearly exhibition of pictures takes place
in the new Rudolphinum, where are
also to be found an Art Gallery,
and the Conservatory of Music. The
Cathedral of St Vitus was begun
under Charles IV. in 1344. It has a large
Gothic choir, and contains a consider-
ablcnumberofmonuments;'but both the
building and its contents suffered con-
siderably during the siege of 1757. The
most important points to observe in the
interior are the large Ronig's Denkmal
(King's Memorial) in the nave and a
beautiful Renaissance railing by
Schmidthamm/sr; furthermore, Wen-
ceslas Chapel, decorated with Bohemian
jewels, the Martin Chapel, with an altar
of Carrara marble, and a picture of
the half-mythical Nepomuk above it
&c. The other chapels are also richly
ornamented with carvings and frescoes.

Near the Cathedral are St. George's
Old Church, Loretto Chapel, Czernin
Palace and the Archbishop*s Palace.

Close to the station are Jose/ PI.,
from which most of the principal streets
radiate. Celetnd ulice, Karlova ulice,
Velki a Male ndmesti. At the be-
ginning of Celetna ulice stands the
Pulverthurm (PraSna brana) in late
Gothic style {I5th cent.). To the N.
of this rises the magnificent Reprd-
sentaiiotts Stadihaus.

Prague contains several fine bridges,
including the new Moldau bridge

(Kaiser Franzens Brucke) opened
on June I4th 1901. Karl's Brucke,
with sixteen arches, was partly, de-
stroyed in 1890, but afterwards re-
stored. On this bridge are to be seen
30 statues of saints, partly from the
lO^hcent, partly of later date. Between
it and Kaiser Franzens Briicke is the
Franzen*s Monument, a Gothic fountain
with statue of Franz I, in the middle.
On Bethlehem* s PL the dwelling of
Huss (now Nos. 5 & 6) formerly stood.

The largest open spot in Prague
is Karfs PI. with a monument to the
Tschechian poet, Viieslaw Halek, In
Wyschrader St., the Emaus Cloister
and the Marienkirche in Gothfc style,
with interesting but damaged fres-
coes representing scenes from the
so-called Biblia Pauperum.

A short distance north-east of
Hradcany Square and adjoining the
Royal Gardens, there is a spacious
park called Krdlovskd Obora, Its
Belvedere, erected in 1536 and com-
manding extensive views of the city
and its surroundings, forms one of
the chief attractions of Prague.

A hundred and fifty years ago the
population of Vienna numbered about
an eighth of a million only, and now,
within its 20 districts, counts 1,800,000,
thus ranking third among the cities
of the Continent. Thanks to the
extraordinary development in the last
forty years, the number of foreigners
visiting Vienna (at present more than
half a million annually) is increasing
year by year. The embellishment of
Vienna has been carried on energeti-
cally during the last twenty years
and, combined with the improvement
in the means of communication,
renders Vienna one of the first cities
of Europe. Owing to the magnificent
position of the Kaiserstadt on the
Danube and its charming surroundings.

as well as many other attractions,
Vienna like every other great city,
continually draws a large influx of
visitors. In spite of the enormous
development, the principal character-
istic (the chief trait of character) is
good nature and joviality. The whole
life in Vienna bears the stamp of
cordiality, which prevails in all social
circks. The constant good humour
and ever ready wit of the inhabitants
enjoy a great reputation over the

whole globe. In no other great city
will the stranger feel at home in' so
short a time as in Vienna; and no-
where is access to the best society
so readily to be found as in Vtenna.
The people of Vienna are enthusiastic
lovers of music and dancing. The
musical character of Vienna, the town
of songs, is acknowledged throi^gh-
out the world. It would be difficult
to convey an idea by means of words
of the architectural beauties of Vienna*

Parliament embellished with beautiful
Greek sculptures, the City Hall, the
University, the splendid Burg Theater
and the Votivkirche, — a church built in
Gothic style and occupying a wonder-
ful site. Of the large parks the most
remarkable and the best known is
called the Prater with the Wurstel-
prater (a kind of permanent fair);
here many a glimmer of golden
humour and hearty good nature 8till
flits over the merry outbreaks of the
people's soul — that traditional good
nature which is fast vanishing in the
worldly bustle of modern metropolises.
A great many of the parks are well
wooded and suggestive of the country,
and the surrounding districts are
magniiiceat indeed. The Royal Palace
of Schonbrunn, with its charming,
and extensive parks, contains a world-
renowned Palm Garden and well-
stocked Zoological Gardens.

The environs of Vienna are celebrated
for their beauty. No other European
capital can be compared with that of
Austria in the number and variety of
ezcartiions to be found in its immediate
vicinity. Mountain and forest, river
and plain, the cultivated field and the
wildly luxuriant hillside, the awe-
inspiring magnificence of nature and
the sweet and peaceful beauty that tells
of patient, lonj; • continued human toil,
— all lie at the gates of the Royal City
on the Danube. It would be difficult,
indeed, to find another spot where,
within 80 small a circuit, such a rich
variety of the loveliest and most im-
pressive scenes delight the eye and
fill the heart of the beholder suscept-
.ble to the influences of nature in her

sublimpr aspects. In summer-time^ the
air everywiiere rings with the joyous
voices of gay buman beings « seeking
the many wooded declivitieB around
Vienna to satis ty the love of nature
innate in every Viennese.

On Sundays, thousands are carried
by the cos- wheel railway to the summit
of the Kahlenberg, a popular resort of
the Viennese. The magnificent view
of Vienna obtained from this place is
especially impressive when the lights
of evening flash up in the town. A
walk of only half an hour along shady
woodland paths leads from Kahlenherg
to Leopoldsberg with its glorious view
of the Danube and the plain of the
wide Marchteld.

On the line of the Southern Bailway
there is the ■ thousand-year-old city of
Moedling — the entrance to the pictur-
esque valley called the Hinterbruehl.
Moedling lies in a wooded and sheltered
region and is much in favour as a
summer and' health resort owing to
its wealth of historical reminiscences
and modern spirit of enterprise, as well
as to the picturesque beauty of its sur-
roundings. '

From Moedling the tramway — the
oldest electric road in Central-Europe
— leads through a highly romantic
ravine to the Bruehl, where stand
Liechtenstein Castle, the dairy and
picturesque ruins. Farther and farther
the way stretches on between splendid
villas to the Hinterbruehl, and thence
into countless charming dales, every-
where presenting resting-places to the
wanderer.

The Semmering is situated 1,000
metres above the sea-level, and may
be reached by railway from Vienna
in little more than two hours. The

railroad across the Semmering is one
of the most magnificent archievements
of engineering skill and enterprise to
be found in Europe. The endless
succession of tunnels and viaducts,
the enormous difficulties that had
to be overcome in carrying out this
gigantic enterprise cannot fail to fill
the reflecting mind with amazement
and admiration, while the wildly
romantic Alpine scenery through which
the line passes, with its forest-clad

slopes, mountain torrents, gloomy
ravines and peaceful valleys, fascinates
the traveller and fills him with delight

only one of the healthiest and most

No city of the size and importance
of Vienna has in its neighbourhood
a mountain of the height of the
Schneeberg (6,307 feet) to which a
cog-wheel railway leads. The train
takes us up to high regions among
an Alpine flora of great beauty.
On the top of the Schneeberg the
view is such that one might easily
believe himself in Switzerland. The

Jn these regions along the stream,
moved the invading Nibelungs to
FAztl King of the Huns, after they
had crossed the stream at Poechlarn
(Eiechelfiren); the crusaders went this
way; the Osmans Sent, their wild
hordes to this valley; and the victo-
noits armies of the great Corsican
passed through, several times, against
Vienna. The Monastery of Melk, situ-
ated on a high rock, is truly named
the Austrian Escurial. The monastery
terraces, which took down upon the
valley of the Danube, command a
splendid view of the river and pictur-
esque ruins. The ruins of Duern-

stein are a jewel amongst Austria's
historical places; they are remarkable
for their incomparable position, the
beauty and variety of their buildings
and their romantic and varied history
during the dominion of the Hohen-
staufens, the Swedes and the French.
Here, nature, industry and art seem
to stand in complete harmony. Jagged
as the ruins, in which' England's
romantic King, the Ghibbelline Richard
Coeur de Lion was imprisoned, are
the rocks around. The Wachau's
charms are so powerful, its resources
so rich, the historical language so full
of life, the buildings of the middle-
ages so numerous that it deserves to
become familiar to tourists of all
nations and classes.

CARLSBAD is a favourite Spa
visited by many thousands of persons
annually, a large number being Ameri-
cans. Practically, the season lasts
the whole yean but the official
season, during which the town-band
plays, is from the 15 ^^ of April till
the 15th of October.

Whether use is made of the "Cur"
or not, strangers staying longer than
8 days in the place are required to
pay the *'Cur** tax and the "music**
lax. The number of doctors resident
in Carlsbad is 160: there are also
4 pharmacies and 4 "Trinkhallen". In
connection with the "Cur*' it is often

necessary to have an analysis made
of the urine or of the blood. For
such cases we would recommend
the patient to apply to the chemical
and microscopical . laboratory of
Dr. Karl Reinhard, Analyst to the
Ciuirts of Justice, on the Markt PI.,
House ♦* Prince of Wales". This
laboratory has been characterised by
leading scientists as a model institute;
while the best circles of society make
use of its services.

Carlsbad is situated on the 50^h
degree northern latitude and on the
30th degree eastern longitude, some
305 metres above the level of the
Baltic Sea and in the northwestern
portion of German Bohemia. It lies
in a picturesque gorge surrounded
by high mountains, whose sides are
covered with magnificent woods of fir,
pine, oak and beech. In this gorge.

through which the Tepl (lows down
to join the Egerj the modern Carls-
bakl has grown up, the buildings being
erected hiyher and higher up the
slopes of the hills as the bed of the
valley became too small to permit
of further development.

The Tepl, which forFnerly, by its
floods, caused fl'equent damage to
the town, has now been effectually
confined and regulated.

The climate of Carlsbad is of a

temperate character, but it is advis-

-*^«'» to provide oneself with changes

Jthing suitable to variations of

•ature.

mountain ranges mentioned
. form a counter - range to the
ebirge, and, stretching away to
Johemian Forest and the Fichtel-
ge , constitute with them a
«*ic whole.

ConsiiiUng of granite, gneiss and
mica, with tertiary fDr motions of
basalt^ the Carlsbader Heights form
the source whence the spa obtains
its healLh'giving waters. The granite
masses were split and reft by seismic
action; and through the openings
not filled by basalt the springs forced
their way. Of these lasit the most
important is the Sprudel, which rises
with the thickness of a man's arm
at the spot where two such geologic
faults cross one another, the other
springs issuing from lateral openings.

As is well-known, all hot springs
possess the property of incrustation.
By a similar process the Sprudel has
created for itself, in the course of
years, a series of basins called the
"Sprudelschale'*. These deposits repose
like a honeycomb on the granite
mass, the water, surcharged with

381

carbonic - acid gas, constantly circu-
lating through its cells in all directions.
The pressure of the gas ejects
the column of water, and produces
the intermittency observable in the
ebullitions of the spring.

Formerly, an occasional stoppage of
the channels in the **Scha1e'^ caused an
interruption of the Sprudel Spring: and
the waters, bursting violently forth at
some other spot, inundated the town.
No fewer than five such '"explosions"
took place in the 18th cent.; but since
1834 none has oecurred, as care is now
taken to provide adequate valves for the
escaping waters at various spots, and
the passage of the Sprudel is periodic-
ally cleared of all foreign matter.

The control of the spa &c. is in the
hands of the burgomaster & his assis-

tants. The remedies employed in Carls-
bad are those which have been in use
for more than 500 years. They consist
of the celebrated Thermal Springs and
their saline products. These latter are
used both as medicines and in the bath.

Carlsbad is the best known and
most important spa having mineral
springs of an alkaline character.

Of these Thermal Springs there are
sixteen, those mostly made use of
being the following: —

The Sprudel, with a temperature of
163-80 F.; Schlossbrtmn, 108* 1® F.;
Marktbrunn, 104° F. ; Muhlhrunn,
121'50 F.; Neu}jrunn, 13770 F. ;
FclsenqueUe, 143*90 F.; Kaiserhrunn,
118-50 F.

In chemical composition the waters
of these springs differ only in the

proportions of the salts contained —
not in the salts themselves. They all
possess carbonates of iron protoxide,
magnesium, calcium, strontium, of all
the alkalis, and of manganese pro-
toxide.— though the latter occurs only
in small quantities, mere traces of it
being found in three of the springs.

The complaints most commonly
treated are diseases of the stomach,
the intestines, the liver, the kidneys
and related organs, the prostate and
the womb. Furthermore, such diseases
as gout, obesity and diabetes.

Carlsbad possesses 5 Colonnades,
one at each of the following Springs,
namely:— Sprudel, Miihlbrunn, Markt-
brunn, Schlossbrunn ; the fifth being
in the Stadtpark.

There are, also, five large baths,
namely: — Kaiserhad, Kurhaus, Neu-
bad, Sprudelbadehaus and the newly-
erected Elisabeth Bath, all of which
are fitted with modern appliances and
are very comfortable.

'Curanstaltfur Gichtkranke' located
in Zawojski House on the Market PI.

Situated opposite the Sprudel, the
institute is fitted with all modern
appointments for the treatment of
gout. Its proprietor, Dr. Kickard
Sachs, tKe author of the well-known
book "Gout Therapy at Carlsbad"
has carefully adapted the remarkable
advantages of Carlsbad to the treat-
ment of this disease by adding to
the administration of the waters and
the application of hot-air a scienti-
fically arranged diet; and the results,
in cases of chronic gout, have conse-
quently been extremely favourable.

The other baiMinan of note in Garld-
bad are principally Chnrohes, HoBpitnU
and the liue^ Among tbem the most
important are:— The Cattaolie Ghareh,

in Tepl -Valley; the nretty little Bnglleh

Walks M Exenrsions* The promenades
run, in part, throoffh the valley along
the 'banks of the Tepl, bnt principally
among; the hills; there are graTel-^ajni
to Sans-souoi, Posthof, Freamisohafts-
saal and KniserparK. The walks among
the woods are mostly shady, and have
a oomhined length of nearly IB miles;
at frequent intervals, oomtortable seats
are plaoed ; while the views which open
oat ;dTery tew minutes are eztensire,
varied and beautifuL Among the most
charming prospects above the town,
the following are perhaps the finest,
namely, Frans Joseph's Hohe, Belvedere,
Hirsebenspmng & Drel Kreasberg. For

GIESSHUBL SAUERBRUNN.

lesshiibl Sauerbrunn is a spa which
4 ot easily be equalled in natural
ictiona. Its valuable spring of spark-
mi e^al water was mentioned, in
by Payer de Oubito and Beudenius,
er the name of 'Buchsauerling'*, and
ad *a long known and health-giving
»rage**. Tn the year 1005^ nearly fiOO
ents underwent treatment here; while
riaitors numbered upwards of 49.000.
lis health-resort is about 1 ,025 ft.
e the level of the sea: it is N.E.

of Carlsbad, which can be reached
by road in an hour and a half, and
by railway in an hour,— Giesshfibl
Sauerbrunn having had a rail way station
from 1895. The spa is situated in
a wide valley surrounded by heights,
the buildings being on both banks
of the Eger, which makes a double
bend here and is spanned by three
bridges. The air is heavily charged
with ozone, especially apparent in
the early morning. The ideal of
climatie health-resorts is defined in
the followmg terms by Dr. Schreiber
of Aussee: — "A place exempt from
miasma, free from dust and wind,
where there is the minimum of organic
matter, and where there are not
infrequent atmospheric depressions ;
moreover, where there is pure, fresh

air from morning to night and from
night to mommgi throughout the year
— such a place is the one to satisty
all impartial and unprejudiced medical
men*'. Now, as has been proved by
experience, all these conditions are
completely rulfilied at Giesshiibl Sauer-
brunn. Nowhere else do nervous^ cofi-
sumptive^ and asthmatic patients feel
more comfortable than here^ and for
those who suffer from emphysema
the *^air - cure** is combined with

one which is specially adapted to re-
lieve it.

indioations are:— catarrhal affections of
the etomacli and intestines, lometimes
followed by fanndiee, dyspepsia, beart-
bnm. vomiting and diarrhoea, caused by
a sarplns of add; staenations in the
mes«>nteric vein* and in the biliary daote;
gravel in the kidneys, piles, goat and
catarrhal affections of the bladder in
their lighter forms.

In addition, it may by stated that
Maitoni's GiesshubUr is taken with
great advantage in cases of catarrhal
affections ot the respiratory organs.
Mixed with warm milk or whey,
it has a stimulating action on the
diminished mucous secretion, and, at
the same time, is invigorating and
nourishing.

GiesshUbUr Water, on account of
its agreeable flavour and its mild,
and yet decided, action, is well
adapted for children, delicate and
weak ladies, and for gentlemen
enervated by longstanding illness.
In these cases, the use of acidulated
cold and alkalme hot springs is
restricted on account of morbidly
increased nervous sensibility.

The beneflcial use of this acidulous
Spring during a cure at Carlsbad
is also acknowledged by the physi-
dans residmg in that place, and it is
generally recommended as an after-
cure. Independently of its important
medicinal value, Mattoni's GiesshUbler
stands foremost among similar mmeral
waters as an ordinary table beverage,
with or apart from the meals, be-
cause it quenches the thirst, causes
a refreshing, strengthening, and in-
vigorating sensation, and imparts to
the system a cooling and comforting
influence.

Maitoni's GiesshUbler water is not
only sold all over Europe, but is
also in demand in countries across
the ocean, where agencies for its
supply are to be found in their
capitals. It is obtainable at all
mineral-water depots and chemists*
shops; in Austria-Hungary all grocers
stock it, and it is also obtainable in
hotels, cafes and restaurants.

888

Besides the springs, there is a hydro-
pathic establishment built on the most
modem lines, a chamber for. inhaling
the flnely eliminated gaseous water
of the spring, after it is mixed with
pine-needle oil, tannin, brine and other
ingredients, and where several patients
can inhale this compound in company.
There is also an arrangement for
inhaling hoi air; a pneumatic chamber
for the rarified and compressed air
treatment, and also the oldest gradu-
ated ascending path, dating from
1883. There is a bath-house well-
arranged for giving all kinds, of
medicated and electric baths and
in which provision is made for
massage and electrical applications of
all kinds. Finally, the best cow's fuid
goat's whey are supplied; and there is
an establishment in which all foreign
mineral waters may be drunk.

The hytfropsthte sjsteai of treataieal

is recommi«niled in neurasthenia and
hvsteria, and, according to the methods
of Beard & Playfair, for nervoos oom>
plaints of all sorts, from the slightest
nneasiness down to developed paralysis
anl cramp; also in melancholia and
oases of depression, in peripheral para-
lysis and> nervous affections, insomnia,
ataxy, atrophy &e.

This node of treatMeal is also applic-
able in cases of diseases ot the blood and

tions and for a great distance ~ a
number of well-kept walks. The place
possesses a reinarkably healthy climate,
with a mean temperature of 7^5^ C,
and presents a most beautiful and
idyllic aspect

The resort is visited, annually, by some
30,000 guests, exclusive of tourists and
travellers (90,000). These are attracted
by its excellent springs as well as by the
natural beauty of its situation and en-
virons. Those visiting the spa fbr the
sake of its waters are mostly patients
suffering from obesity, gout, diabetes,
anaemia or scrofula ; but the treatment of
kindred complaints, — such as distur-
bances of the digestive organs and

of the circulatory system, as well
as of stone, female diseases &c. —
is also very successful. Indeed, the
great variety of the springs, together
with the character of the cliraate and
the use of different baths, renders
Marienbad exceedingly suitable for
families in which there are invalids
suffering from different complaints.
The springs, which are cold, but, in
their general composition, resemble
those of Carlsbad, may be divided
into the following three groups: —
(a) Those containing Glauber's salts, of
which Kreuz Brunnen & FerditMH^s
Bruunen are the stronger,-, and
AUxandrinenquelle and Waldquelle,

of which is the richest in iron of
all the springs of Austria or Germany;
(7) The alkaline spring, call«d Rudol/s-

1000 of bicarbonate of calcium and
magnesium, but is absolutely free from
calcium sulphate. Moreover, there is
a spring, termed the Marienquelle,
which, contaming but few mineral
salts and being remarkably rich in
carbome acid, is employed for bathing
purposes.

The waters have a temperature of
about 10® C and, according to
analyses, answer all the demands of

modern therapeutic science. The baths
are taken in buildings fitted with
every comfort and all the latest ap'
pliances: they consist, in general, of
carbonic-acid baths, steel and mud*
baths and the usual hot-air, vapour,
and cold-water baths, inhalations ftc.
Mother-lye, pine-needles, soda Ac are
used according to requirements. The
principal bathing establishments lie
at the foot of the Kreuzberg, along
the Hamelika Brook, and are named

most interesting buildings are the
following : —

The Town Hall, where, in 1634,
Wallenstetn was assassinated during
the Thirty Years' War: it contains the
municipal museum with interesting
portraits of Wallenstein &c.

St. Nicolas Church, a Gothic edifice,
with painted ceilings, altars, stained-
glass, and a tower commanding a
magnificent view.

Above the banks of the river in
the N.W. of the town, are the ruins
of the old Imperial Castle flanked

by a bastion of the ancient ramparts
which were rased in 1809.

The town also contains a bronze
statue of the Emperor Joseph IL and
a 16th century fountain with a Roland

FRANZENSBAD takes its name
from the Emperor Franz II., under
whom it was founded in 1793. It
formed originally a part of Eger, but,
from 1852, has had a separate exis-
tence, having been then disjoined
Crom the parent spa and raised, a

few years later, to the status of a
town.

The place lies on an extensive and
undulating plateau, at the great ele-
vation of 1,480 feet. Surrounded by
mountain heights, its atmosphere Is

winds blow from the S.W. The
town, which consists principally of
elegant villas, mansions, hotels &:c.
is charmingly situated among ^'f-
tensive parks on a gentle soutl

borders it on the E., is the Russian
Church, and, to the S., opposite the
town itself, the Catholic Church:
it contains, moreover, a bronze
statue of the Emperor Franz II.
and a monument to the Empress
Elisabeth. Beyond the town, and
between- Kaiser St. and Louisen St.,
is Situated the Kurhaus, with an
extensive colonnade.

The celebrity of the spa depends
upon the great efficacy of its waters,
which rise from thirteen springs.
Though varying slightly in character,
they have a general similarity, and
contain, in different quantities, sul-
phates and carbonates of the al-

kalies, protoxide of iron and silicic
acid. All of them are charged
with sodium chloride and jfree
carbonic-acid gas; while some are
also remarkable for their lithium
carbonate, the Nataliequelle being
especially remarkable in this respect.
The strongest of the springs is
the Franzenshad Quelle, with no
less than 32% of sodium sulphate
and a large proportion of lithium
and sodium salts. The waters of
this chalybeate spring, which is
also rich in carbonic acid, are ex-
ported in vast quantities by Mr.
Henry Mattoni under the name of
Franzenshad Natalie Waters* They

Among the great many admirers
of Salzburg I will merely quote the
words of the great naturalist Alexander
von Humboldt, who said: —

^'Salzburg shares with Constan-
tinople and Naples the proud dis-
tinction of possessing one of the
most beautiful situations in the
world."

It would, indeed, be difficult to find
a city more charmingly placed, at it
lies in a natural basin encircled by
richly wooded heights which bank
the Salzach on both sides. As to
its sanitary condition, Salzburg was
registered at the Hygienic Congress
at Vienna 1887 as the healthiest
town on the Continent. Unmistakable
signs prove that a Celtic settlement
existed here long before the Romans
established the military station of
Juvavium. Christianity appears to

have been introduced at an early
period, and, during the middle-ages',
the Castle of Hohen-Salzburg —
an irregular, feudal citadel built
by Archbishop Gebhard in A. D.
1077 — was the residence of the
bishop-princes, who combined the
dignity of princes of the German
empire with their ecclesiastical rank.
The magnificent cathedral, of white
marble, was built under Arch-
bishop Marcus Sitticus A. D. 1614.
It contains a valuable treasury,
monuments of the bishop - princes
and some good frescoes and paint-
ings by Mascagni and Sotari.

The Abbey of St. Peter is the
oldest Chapter in Salzburg, founded
by Sti Rupert, A. D. 582: a very
valuable library (40,000 volumes)
is to be seen there. The Cemetery
of St. Peter is well worth visiting.
The vault hewn in the face of
the rock and the chapels attached
and dating from the period when
they were consecrated by St.
Rupert A. D. 582 are very interest-
ing. The composer, Michael Haydn,
is buried there. Connected with
the Cathedral by white marble
Arcades is the Residence Schloss,
winter residence of the bishop -
princes. It contains a number
of very remarkable state rooms
with beautiful paintings on the
walls &c.

Opposite this palace is the Hof-
brunnen, a fine monumental fountain
in white marble about 50 feet high.
On the same square is situated a
tower with a chime of bells which
usually play at 7, 11 and 6 o'clock.
In the adjacent square is the bronze

statue of Mozart by Schwanthaler,
the first memorial we meet with of
Salzburg's great composer. He was
born 1756, at 9 Getreide Gasse, 3^^
floor. His birth-chamber, now turned
into a very interesting museum, is
still to be seen here.

The summer riding - school, an
amphitheatre hewn in the rock at
Monchsberg, was used for tourna-
ments. The town Museum contains
a large number of very valuable ob-
jects, a whole suite of rooms fur-
nished in old German style and
rendering a visit both instructive and
interesting. Open daily from 10 a. m.
till 4 p. m.

The Mirabel! Schloss, built by
Archbishop Wolf Dietrich in 1607,
is a palace of vast size, and possesses
a fine stair-case and splendid Marble
Hall.

Mirabell Garden, laid-out in Re-
naissance style, contains numerous
marble statues and magnificent groups
of trees.

Near the town bridge there ia the
house of Philippus Theophrastus
Paracelsus, the celebrated naturalist,
who died A. D. 1541.

In the grounds of the Frontier
Railway Station, a monument to
the late and much-lamented Empress
Elisabeth has been erected.

The rapid growth of the town since, in
1887^ Hungary wrunff firom the empire
its mdependenoe and the management
of its internal affairs, has been yery re-
markable, being riralled only by that
of Berlin since the establishment of the
German Empire in 1870. It is now one
of the leadmg commercial towns in
BuropSk and, haTinic been built for the
most part within quite recent times, is
also one of the handsomest.

Its most important buildings are the
following, namely:—

Academy Palace, a tasteful Renais-
sance edifice erected, in 1864, at
Ferencz Jdssef ter, a square at the
head of Lanczhid or Ketten Brucke.
Entering the building through a
beautiAil vestibule supported upon
marble pillars and decorated with a
Statue of Dedks, we find ourselves
in the Library, which possesses
about 200,000 vols. The Academy,

its sessions room on the first floor:
this is an apartment embellished
with four beautiful frescoes, and Is
adjacent to the President's Chamber,
containing some portraits and other
paintings. On the same floor, there
is a handsome saloon with marble
columns, vaulted ceiling and frescoes
by Lotz: this is the apartment used
by the academy for public receptions
and the like« The second and third
stories contain the national gallery,
consisting, principally, of works by
Italian, Dutch and Flemish masters, with
specimens of the French and Spanish
schools. In front of the building, there
is a bronze Statue of Count Szichinyi,
the founder of the academy.

Crossing the square, beyond the
Police Station, the Palace of the
Prince of Cohurg, and \ht Statue of
Franz Dedk, we reach the Ferencz
Jozsef rdkpart. This is a fine
quay which, extendhig past Eskuteri
Bridge to Ferencz Jdzsef Bridge^
forms a splendid promenade along
the banks of the finest of European
rivers, and offers a charming pro-
spect of the hills on the opposite
bank, as well as of the Royal
Castle, perched high above the town.
Besides its many handsome cafes
and restaurants, it is adorned with
the handsome Bourse, and the
Redouten: the last is a handsome
building at Redouten Square with
magnificent ball-rooms and concert-
rooms and embellished with frescoes
by Lotz, Than and Wagner. On the
same square are the splendid Pre*
mises of the Hungarian Assurcn^ :
Association, A short distance beyonu

At the present day, it also contains
important scientific and antiquarian
colleclions, and a picture gallery of
modern works. Moreover, in its prin-
cipal saloon, there is a large painting by

From here, via Szabad-Batty4n and
L'^psd y, to

LAKE BALATON (PlatteBsee)the largest
lake ot Hungary and, mdee t, of Southern
Europe: it is 60 miles long, and varies
in width from IV4 miles to 9 miles.
On the northern bank, there are many
volcanic peaks and hills, whose slopes
produce an excellent wine.

The railway line traverses the long
S. E. shore of the lake, and proceeds to the
important junction of the CsAktomya
Line at Nagy-Kanlssa, a town ot some
'i20.000 inhab., doing a thriving trade in
grain. Beyond it> a tew lesd notable
places are called at, and the train then
stops at Csskathors, the junction for
Agram. The town ot Pettau, with
interesting 8cbloss and 14^^ century
church, follows; and a few miles further
we reach Prsgerhof on the direct line
to Laibaoh and Trieste.

Many tourists, however, will prefer to
leave the main line at St. Peter, and
proceed direct by the branch line to
Flume (see route 62 B), a rapidly de-
veloping seaport in the noitheastem
angle of the Adriatic Sea, and forming
the centre of the celebrated Quarnero

LAXENBURG, BADEN and VOSLAU
and via SEMMERING PASS to GRAZ,
MARBURG, LAIBACH, St. PETER and
TRIESTE (see route 52 c).

Tbe Sttdbabn (Southern Railway),
with 290 Vs miles of rail, is the largest
private railway in Austria-Hungary, and
traverses a district which, in beauty
and charm, has few competitors.

It possesses three principal trunks,
the main line being that which connects
Vienna with the ports of Trieste and
Fiume. Halfway along this line, namely
at Marburg, the second trunk branches
off westwards through the Alps of
Carinthia and Tyrol, .and terminates at
Fransensfeste, the chief junction on the
third trunk, a line of rail extending from
KufBtein on the northern boandary of
Austria to Ala on the S., and formirg

the ioQost important member of the old
railroad between Germany and Italy.

The Vienna and Trieste Line, having
passed a number of flourish in g towns,
strikes, at a distance of 10*/a miles
irom the capital, into the heart of that
rendeEVons of tourists, the Limestone
Alps. Soon, the incomparable splendour
of the Semmering opens out, the rail
ascending to an altitude of 8,2*^0 feet
in order to climb the pass, which is
reached 2V4 hrs. after leaving Vienna.
